Meet at City Hall at 2pm
Sketchers, painters, dabbers and total beginners are invited to an afternoon of sketching in Sligo Town. High St., Stephen St and The Mall are suggested, but the choice is yours. Sketching provides a wonderful way to look at and experience a place, it’s architecture, atmosphere and to consider the way the urban landscape has evolved.
All are invited to reconvene at 4pm at the Top Bar in The Glasshouse Hotel to review the Day’s experiences.
What to bring: Sketch books, pencils, pens, inks or paints, depending on your choice of medium.
Also recommended: warm and waterproof clothing, hat, gloves, flasks of tea or coffee, perhaps a fold-up seat and a good umbrella.
NB indoor venues will be arranged, if weather should prevent external sketching.
