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 in TapHouse. 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!

On Sunday 10th March we'll sketch at Kilmainham Jail just off South Circular Road from 2pm and then meet at the Hilton Hotel bar from 4pm to check out each other's sketches over a drink.

Some nice views from the courthouse cafe which you can access without a ticket the museum is also free. Be mindful of others as you roam as the Jail is usually very busy. There are plenty of options to seek refuge from the rain including Loaf cafe and the Patriots Inn pub. Use #dublinsketchers # urbansketchers if you're posting on Social Media.
