On Sunday 16th August, Dublin Sketchers will sketch around the Jeanie Johnston from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in Dockers, 5 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2, D02 P3C6.
The Jeanie Johnston and the area around it offer a fantastic opportunity to sketch maritime history alongside modern Dublin. You can sketch the ship itself or, if you prefer, choose from the many interesting elements around it, including the river, bridges, boats and nearby buildings.
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 and to enjoy each other’s sketches at Dockers, 5 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2, D02 P3C6. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
