14th September - Powerscourt Townhouse Centre

 


On Sunday the 14th of September, Dublin Sketchers will sketch in
Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, 59 William St S, D02 HF9  from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in The Duke Dublin, 9 Duke St.


The Powerscourt Centre is a fine example of Dublin’s Georgian architecture; the house is unique in showing the transition from rococo style to neo-classic under one roof. Today, it is a multi-storey shopping centre that includes a variety of cafés, boutiques, and specialty shops.


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 The Duke Dublin. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
