Sunday 23 August

Hello everyone, as the latest government guidelines have come into effect, limits on mass gatherings have been re-introduced. Outdoor gatherings and events are limited to 15 people.

Therefore, we have no choice but to limit attendance at our sketch outings. 

• If you are a regular sketcher with us and you are on our WhatsApp group, you will find relevant details there. 
• If you are not a regular sketcher with us already, then why not stay local and sketch in your Dublin neighbourhood. If you would like your sketch to be added to the website, email it to dublinsketchers@gmail.com. Please edit your image so that it is low res and properly oriented for posting to the website.
• If you are a regular sketcher with us, but you're not on our WhatsApp group, contact us by email at dublinsketchers@gmail.com

If you have any questions, please email us at dublinsketchers@gmail.com

Sunday May 24th – Covid-19

This Sunday May 24^th 2020 we will be sketching from the safety of our own homes. Sketching will start at approximately 2pm and finish at 4pm.

This week, working from video and photos from the internet, newspapers and magazines we will sketch the patients, doctors, nurses, ambulance personnel, cleaning staff and others involved in the worldwide covid-19 pandemic. 

Let's take this as an opportunity to express our thanks to all the front-line medical staff who have been working so hard over the last few months!
