National Library of Ireland - 2pm Sunday 16th October

Hi all,
We have very kindly been invited to visit the National Library this Sunday for a really special visit. The building is open Sunday afternoons, including the Yeats Exhibition. The Reading Room is closed to the public then, but that won’t apply to us! There is plenty of room to spread ourselves out throughout the Reading Room and the rest of the public parts of the Library.

We will be greeted in the front hall of the main library, beside Leinster House at 2pm. If you haven't been out with the Dublin Sketchers before, please just have a sketchpad in your hand and we'll make sure you are included.

Really looking forward to this one - see you there.

Marcia Moreno's Presentation at the Pearse Museum Sunday 9th October

Thankyou to all who made it out to the Pearse Museum this Sunday. It was great to see so many of you there. Marcia's presentation went very well and although unfortunately we didn't get around to much drawing it was very interesting and inspiring.

Here are some photos.

We've already had one follow up workshop last night (Monday the 10th) - everyone helped themselves to some nice food thanks to Jessica and after that it was all very relaxed and informal chatting around the fire at first and pretty soon the ideas were flying and some artwork begun...

There is still tonight and tomorrow night for those of you who would still like to come and for everyone who attends there is the chance of winning an art related prize. So maybe you're short on some art supplies who knows it could be worth your while making the trip. Also we can give people lifts home at the end of the workshops back to the general city centre and surrounding areas.

Pinning down the idea of Home can be tricky once you get into it.The image map here (thanks Declan) is one of the ideas that came from the Monday Night workshop and also using an illustrated letter (thanks Niall) as a way to present some ideas. Some food for thought anyway.

Pearse Museum 2pm Sunday 9th October

Work done by James Moore - June 2011

Hi all,

This Sunday we are heading for the Pearse Museum, to support our fellow sketcher James Moore in his recent Brazilian Irish endeavours. For information on James' exhibition and work, see his website here.
We will meet at 2pm at the entrance to the Museum to spend time sketching, then meet again at 4pm in the courtyard cafe for a chat over coffee.

The Pearse Museum is the former school run by Patrick Pearse, now a museum in beautiful grounds. It's set in St. Enda's Park - one of Dublin city's most charming and atmospheric parks, with its riverside walks, waterfall and walled garden. There's more information at http://www.heritageireland.ie/en/Dublin/PearseMuseum-StEndasPark/

Location: 8km approximately from Dublin City Centre. You can park either in the car park that you can access from Taylors Lane or there's a bigger one on Sarah Curran Avenue.

Bus Route: No. 16 from City Centre. The bus stop you need to ask for is "Grange Road (Sarah Cullen Avenue)" and then you'll see a sign for St Enda's Park / Pearse Museum - look out for the car park. Here's the timetable for the bus http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/16/ You can pick up the number 16 bus on O'Connell street near the Gresham Hotel. From the timetable it looks like there's a number 16 bus that leaves O'Connell Street around 1pm.

Enjoy!

Tracy
