On Sunday the 19th of January, Dublin Sketchers will sketch at the State Apartments in Dublin Castle from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm at Hogans on Great South Georges Street.
The lovely staff at the State Apartments will welcome us.
A few things to note:
- Go to the main desk at the entrance and tell them you are with Dublin sketchers. You will be given a wrist band that gives you access.
- No backpacks are allowed. Bring a smaller bag.
- Liquid paints are not allowed in the State apartments - you can use a waterbrush, but no water containers
- There are tours at the State Apartments, so make sure that you don't block the main narrow passages.

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 Hogans on Great South Georges Street. We haven't tried this pub yet. Hopefully it won't be too busy. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
If you would like your sketch to be added to the website, email it to dublinsketchers @ gmail .com or post it to the Dublin Sketchers Social WhatsApp group if you are on that. Please edit your image so that it is low res and properly oriented for posting to the website. If you are posting your sketch on Instagram please #dublinsketchers #urbansketchers
Hope to see you there!
