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.
Who will organise the locations for July?
Thanks to Mandy for organising the locations for May and Balazs for doing the same for June.
Who wants to organise the locations for July? It's very easy - takes about 15 minutes on a Friday. Who's up for it.... Give a little to keep Dublin Sketchers going.
Email dublinsketchers@gmail.com if you want to, and we'll send you easy step by step instructions!

Sunday, 28th June - Zoology Museum at Trinity College Dublin
Hello
Sketchers,
We are looking forward to a Sunday with changing weather... time to get inside perhaps?
This Sunday, the 28st June, Dublin Sketchers are going to the Zoological Museum at Trinity College Dublin. We'll meet at the entrance of the Zoological Department at 2pm.
The Zoological Museum has a small entry fee (3 euros) and is run by the Zoological Department. It runs only during the summer (June-August) and it is open every day between 10.30 and 16.00 (their info leaflet is not updated; they are open on Sundays). Their building overlooks the Green where you can see some cricket players from time to time. See Map attached. See the museums website for more info at https://www.tcd.ie/Zoology/museum/
The
Campus of Trinity College Dublin is also a nice area to sketch... depending on
the weather of course.We are looking forward to a Sunday with changing weather... time to get inside perhaps?
