• Hand-carving Sherlockian Tales: A Printmaker’s Journey at Portsmouth Museum

  

  In the heart of Portsmouth, where Conan Doyle once roamed, his stories still whisper in the alleyways. This workshop isn’t just about printmaking; it’s a time travel to the era of Sherlock Holmes, a tribute to Doyle’s genius. It’s where ink meets history, and every print tells a story.
