Sunday 2nd September Dublin Sketchers are going to dawdle around the Phizz Fest up in Phibsboro. Website is www.phizzfest.ie. We'll meet at 2pm outside The Brian Boru pub http://www.thebrianboru.ie/ and meet back there at 4pm for a drink and to check out each other's sketch books. There's loads of activity around the area and boats larking about on the Royal Canal.
If you've not been before, you'll spot a bunch of friendly looking folks holding sketch pads - stroll up and say hi... If you're a bit late, sure, don't worry, it's Sunday afternoon and we're all a bit late! Get stuck in with the drawing and meet at 4pm in the Brian Boru!
Dublin Sketchers get together every Sunday afternoon in Dublin to sketch. We go to a different place each week. Check here before hand to see where we are off to. Come along if you fancy it! We start sketching from 2pm and meet at 4pm for a drink and chat. We are part of the global Urban Sketchers community.

Thanks to Elena for last week's idea to go the market in Newmarket.
This Sunday 19th August, we've been enticed to Greystones by John Kenny.
We will meet at Greystones dart Station entrance at 2pm and head out from there. It's the first time the Sketchers have been to Greystones, so come prepared for artistic adventure!
There's a harbour area and at the moment there is an Art and Photography exhibition. We will meet at 4pm at the Beach Hotel beside the harbour for coffee and chat.
According to the Dart Timetable there's a train leaving Pearse Street station at 12:57
which arrives at Greystones at 13:4. A later train leaves Pearse Street at 13:34 arriving at 14:25.
If you've not been before we'll be the people
brandishing sketchpads at Greystones Dart Station at 2pm. If you are late just
get sketching and find us at 4pm at the Beach Hotel.
Some pics from Wexford Plein Eire
There were a decent number of Sketchers at the 2012 Art in the Open
festival. As usual the Plein Eire South east crowd made us all very
welcome. Thanks Kevin,Tony, Karen and Neill.
Edit: A few shots from me also (Tracy) - had a brill week and would recommend it to you all :-)
