Sunday 25th November Print Museum, Ballsbridge

This Sunday, 25th November, we're sharpening our pencils and heading to the Print Museum in Ballsbridge.

Here's the website to help you find your way there! www.nationalprintmuseum.ie

The Museum is situated in the old Garrison Chapel of Beggars Bush Barracks on Haddington Road, Dublin 4.

The museum opens at 2.00pm, and they've agreed that we can pay only €1 entry if we are just drawing. There is a tour at 3pm, if you do that, you'll need to pay the full entrance fee!

Last time we went there, we ended up in Bar 51 (http://www.the51bar.com) on Haddington Street, so we'll probably weave our way there at around 4pm for a cuppa or something stronger to ogle over each other's art work or doodlings from the session.

If you haven't been out before, we're a casual, friendly crowd so just turn up, look out for people with sketch pads and get stuck in

More sketches from Sunday around City Hall

Here's some lovely work from Julie, Des, Ula, Whitney and Deirdre. Sorry that we can't match the drawing with the sketcher - perhaps you can?! Joao kindly took the photos, Jessica took the names, and between us we can't match one with the other! Great to welcome new faces to the group!

Sunday 18th Nov 2012.Sketching around Dublin Castle.

As City Hall was not available, we traversed the grounds of Dublin Castle and Chester Beatty Library to collect some interesting items.

Sunday 18th November CITY HALL

*Change of location for Sunday 18th* Sorry for the confusion!

On Sunday 18th November we're going to explore the area round City Hall on Dame Street, at the top of Parliament Street. The building itself is interesting and open. Or, venture down to the Quays - the Sunlight Chambers on the corner has quirky plaster work or find the Sick and Indigent Bookkeepers Society building. Chester Beatty is just round the corner. Thomas read's pub on the corner has great window seats, and also serves coffee and tea.


We'll meet at 2pm at City Hall.

If you've not been before, you'll spot us easily as we'll be the artistic looking types clutching sketch pads. Don't worry if you're late - just get stuck in with the drawing.
We'll meet again at 4pm in Thomas Read's on the corner of Dame Street and Parliament Street. We'll enjoy looking at each other's sketch pads over a coffee or something stronger!

A couple of people each week kindly photograph everyone's work to put on the blog. Please help them out by PUTTING YOUR NAME on your sketch book or on EACH sketch you do! If you've got a camera and fancy helping out with photographing folks work - just get snapping on Sundays! You can either post them on www.dublinsketchers.com or email them to dublinsketchers@gmail.com and someone else can post them for you.

We'll go to the Gibson Hotel another week. There is a gig in the 02 on Saturday night, so they don't have space for us this week.
