January 11th, Chester Beatty

  




On Sunday 11th January, Dublin Sketchers will sketch at the Chester Beatty (or surrounding areas), located in the historic grounds of Dublin Castle, D02 AD92. The museum houses an incredible collection of rare manuscripts and global decorative arts - plenty of inspiration to go around! Information on how to get to Chester Beatty is available here.

It’s forecast to be about 6°C midday with a high chance of rain. With the wind chill, it will feel colder! 

We will meet up at 4pm at The Long Hall, 51, South Great George's Street, Dublin 2, D02 DV74, a 7 minute walk from Chester Beatty.

If it’s your first time, please come say hello—we are a friendly bunch! Just bring your own materials and look out for people with sketchbooks.

We sketch from about 2pm and then meet up around 4pm for a chat and a drink and to enjoy each other's sketches.
