Exhibitions With The Detectives

We have now recruited a new set of Detectives to work on a new exhibition to showcase more items from the exhibition. This will be pubicly displayed art exhibition in and around Portsmouth - the birthplace of Sherlock Holmes.

Workshop 1

Alongside discussions about what an exhibition is and how one could be created to showcase The Conan Doyle Collection, items from the archive were selected to use as a basis and inspiration for the artwork to be produced, by The Detectives, for the exhibition.

Workshop 2

Artist Mandie Molyneux took the group through the basic principles of creating artwork. The Detectives created images of the person opposite, using their non dominant hand. They were also introduced to drawing with charcoal.

Workshop 3

In this workshop The Detectives were introduced to the concept of mono printing and created their own images based upon items in the Collection.
