A TRADITIONAL red phone box, containing a miniature print studio, has popped-up in Pickering Library.
Suzie Devey, a printmaker from Yorkshire, was awarded funding from the Arts Council National Lottery Project Grant to create and tour the Two Tin Can kiosk as a miniature printmaking studio.
Visitors to the library in Pickering were able to meet Suzie, who guided them through the printmaking process and chatted about how being creative can make a difference to people.
Suzie said: “Being creative has so many benefits; it can really help to tackle isolation.
“We have a huge dilemma of loneliness in our society, among the elderly and the young.
“I realised that creating a pop-up phone box would mean I could take it anywhere and create a conversation.
“I was thrilled to received Arts Council National Lottery Project Grant funding for the initiative, which has made all this possible.”
