Discover how creatives in Walthamstow are taking local action on pressing global environmental issues and rethinking the impact of design and making.
Get involved in free hands-on workshops, open studio visits and local walks. Meet the makers, tour studios around Blackhorse Lane and learn how to forage for local plants and reuse ‘waste’ materials.
Learn new skills from dyeing to welding and see prototypes of pioneering design projects.
In a place where high streets meet wetlands and marshes, we invite you to explore urgent debates around sustainable practice, equity and our relationship with nature in the city.
Come together over food with The Gleaners Café to reflect on what ecosystems can be and the strategies needed to build thriving communities of making in the city.
The day will feature workshops, installations, tours and performances from Colour of Saying, Renata Minoldo, Action Pyramid, Indigo Garden London, Blackhorse Lane Ateliers, Blackhorse Workshop, WAX Atelier, VG&P Isokon and Brian d’Sousa (aka Auntie Flo).
We welcome walk-ups to the event. Photography and filming will take place on the day.
