Sunday, June 16th we go to the National Library of Ireland at Nos.2-3 Kildare St. Dublin .2.

This Sunday 16th June we have been invited to the National Library, in Kildare St, D.2.The beautiful circular Reading Room is on the first floor.  
We will meet at the new time, (which is just  for this Sunday), at 3.30pm at the Main Entrance to the library..
  Please use DRY materials only! The Library is open til 6pm if people want to keep sketching! 

If you've not been before, you'll spot us easily as we'll be holding our sketch pads. Don't worry if you're late - just get stuck in with the drawing. I have updated our website to include this info.

We will meet up again at Cafe En Seine in Dawson St. from 5.30 onwards, for a coffee and have a chat and look at each others sketches.  Looking forward to seeing you all.

On Sunday 9th June we are going to visit Herbert Park in Ballsbridge/Donnybrook.

On Sunday we are going to Herbert Park, Ballsbridge,Dublin 4. This is the first time we have visited this Park. There are lots of activities there and I expect we shall have  good weather.
 We will meet at 2pm. at either of the main gates, which are opposite each other, on Herbert Park Road.
If you've not been before, you'll spot us easily as we'll be holding our sketch pads. Don't worry if you're late - just get stuck in with the drawing.

Here are 2 links to Herbert Park
also

The park is in two sections with Herbert Park Road running through it, and it is bounded on one side  by the River Dodder.
It can be reached by bus No.7 ( get off at the American Embassy and walk up Herbert Park Road)  and also by the 46a, 145  or 39a, which will bring you to Morehampton Road, Donnybrook. Turn into Herbert Park Road at the traffic lights,  to reach the park.



We'll meet again at 4pm at the Herbert Park Hotel, the entrance is behind the bandstand near the pond. We'll enjoy looking at each other's sketch pads over a drink.


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.

Hope to see you there!
