This has just been installed in Spalding. Good positive feedback. The nooks are created using a mix of modelling techniques, metal casting, metal work, digital cutting and 3D printing. All created by @lauramabbutt and @ideasandmaking
In the windows of Beales, you can spot our 'Spalding Stories' project.
@MakingStreet gathered stories and memories from Spalding residents and crafted them into beautiful book nook sculptures to brighten up the high street.
If you're in the area, please do have a look!
If you or someone you know is isolated or feeling lonely, we have a number of making and craft projects that we are running. All can be done in your own home with plenty of support. Live in Lincolnshire find out more email [email protected]
