This Sunday 04
October, Dublin Sketchers are meeting at Glasnevin Cemetery, Finglas Road, Dublin 11.
Glasnevin is Ireland’s most historic graveyard and
is the resting place of over one million Dubliners. http://www.glasnevintrust.ie/
Everyday at 2.30pm there is a re-enactment of
Padraig Pearse’s fiery oration from 1915 (“The fools, the fools, the fools … “
and all that) which is well worth catching. Recently, they have opened the gate
which allows you wander into the Botanic Gardens if you prefer to draw plants
than headstones.
We will meet at 2pm
at the front entrance. Don’t worry if
you’re late - just get stuck in and draw whatever takes your fancy.
We’ll meet again at 4pm and adjourn
to Kavanagh’s Pub (aka the Gravediggers)
for refreshments and a chat.
If you haven't been before, keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a
sketch book and come and say hello. Dublin Sketcher’s is FREE – just bring your
own drawing materials.
Hope to see you there
