Creative Repair Workshop

At Forest Recycling Project we work to promote a greener, more inclusive Waltham Forest. Our main operational area is reclaiming, repurposing and affordably reselling waste material that would otherwise fill and pollute local landfill sites. The three products we recycle are paint, scaffolding wood and fabrics. We believe that social and environmental challenges go hand in hand and volunteering is at the heart of all our activities

Forest Recycling Project

We'll be exploring different ways of fashion mending from embroidery to upcycling. Please take any garments that you have pilling up at home

Forest Recycling Project 

The workshop will be led by Chloé and Olivia, both graduated from the MA Fashion Futures at London College of Fashion in 2018. Chloé is a London-based designer and artist focusing on craft, activism and sustainability interrogating the role of the designer. It is really important for her to rethink her place as a creative in society, and how skills and strengths can be of use within the activism space.Olivia is a fashion designer focusing on sustainable solutions for the design, pattern cutting, and production process. She is currently starting her own social enterprise JOA and is working with charities, second hand garments and her local East London community.This is one of a series of co-making workshops organized by London College of Fashion in partnership with Forest Recycling Project during London Borough of Culture 2019 under the “Making for Change: Waltham Forest| project led by Dr Francesco Mazzarella. This project is part-funded by the Great Place Scheme, supported by Arts Council England and the Heritage Lottery Fund #greatplacescheme Participants will be added to the Forest Recycling Project mailing list and also be updated on future events of the 'Making for Change: Waltham Forest' project. Please let us know if you would prefer not to be added to the mailing list.
