Sketchy People Drogheda

A weekly-ish urban sketching meet-up in Drogheda. 2:30pm – 4pm every Saturday at a location below.
Bring pens, pencils and a sketchbook and sketch whatever ‘draws’ your interest.
It is very relaxed and unstructured.

No booking is required. Just turn up. Don’t worry about turning up late.
Chances are if you spot someone with a sketchbook they are with the group so say hi.

Then meet for a coffee and chat at 4pm in a local coffee spot to share our terrible drawings (only if you want to).

The goal is to have fun. Hope to see you there.
