On Sunday 14th December Dublin Sketchers will sketch round the area of Jervis Shopping Center, 125 Abbey Street Upper, North City, Dublin, D01 W3X5

Weather will be inclement with rain predicted so wrap up well, the Lúas stops outside. The multi story central atrium offers views from the many balconies and various cafes offer sketching opportunities and comfort. For those who wish to sketch outside the facade is very interesting and surrounding buildings with very busy street scenes.

If it’s your first time keep your eyes open for other sketchers and say hello - we are a friendly bunch. You need to bring your own sketching materials.

We sketch from about 2pm and then meet up around 4pm after a 4 minute walk to Ormand Quay: Morrisons Hotel.
