https://www.dublinchinesenewyear.com/?post_type=event&p=3991
So on Sunday the 3rd of February Dublin Sketchers will sketch at Meeting House Square, Temple Bar and/or nearby cafes /the Irish Film Institute/galleries facing onto the square from 2pm
and meet for drinks at 4pm.
If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at 2pm, just choose something to sketch and
get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. It's a friendly
crowd who you’ll get to know over a drink from 4pm. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually
are! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.
From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink at in The Stags Head, 1 Dame Court. A bunch of sketchers will
magically appear.
This week's optional challenge is to capture the atmosphere in Meeting House Square
Hope to see you there!

Sketches from City Assembly House, 29 January 2019
Here are the sketches, and a few photos, from our afternoon at City Assembly House, home of the Irish Georgian Society, who kindly invited us to sketch on their premises.
Thank you Zoë from the Irish Georgian Society who made this possible.
A beautiful location with an interesting history.
And if any of you own a period house, the Irish Georgian Society is giving 12 lunchtime talks on the subject of 'Conserving your Dublin Period House', with topics as varied as legislation, extensions, taking care of your roof, chimneys and parapets, the importance of using lime and historic pointing techniques, etc.
(And if you would like to invite us to sketch inside and outside your period house, just let us know - we're always on the lookout for interesting locations!)
Apologies for the quality of some of the photos - the light wasn't great in Grogan's pub across the road. A wonderful pub, by the way. We should sketch there some day, if we can get a seat!
