Join us for the Walthamstow Art Trail 2026 to see photographic exhibition by Joanne Segars and textiles works of our participants - from Patch and Repurpose workshops.

June in Forest Recycling Project! 

This year, we’re proud to present the inspiring photography of Joanne Segers from her ongoing project Leftovers, documenting the story of our team and our much-loved initiative, Paint it Green.

Paint it Green showcases FRP’s mission to build a greener and more inclusive community through reclaiming, repurposing, and affordably re-selling leftover paint. Joanne’s photographs follow the journey of donated paint – from council recycling centres, through processing in our warehouse, to finding a new life in homes and community projects. Instead of becoming waste and being incinerated, the paint becomes part of the circular economy, helping reduce environmental harm while supporting local people.

What is the Walthamstow Art Trail?
The Walthamstow Art Trail is a celebration of local creativity, inviting artists, makers, and creatives of all kinds to open their doors and share their work with the community. From painting and sculpture to performance, design, and digital art, Walthamstow becomes a living gallery for 10 days in June 2026.

You can find us at Venue 44 on the Art Trail map.

Walthamstow Art Trail: 5 – 14 June

We will also be exhibiting the wonderful work created by our textile mentor Penny and participants from our Patch & Repurpose workshops. At FRP, we believe reuse and repair are not only about reducing waste, but also about bringing people together and sharing practical skills. Through our workshops, participants learn how to transform old textiles into something new, useful, and beautiful – and this year, we’re excited to showcase their creations.

We invite you to visit our shop at 2C Bakers Avenue over two special weekends to explore these beautiful photographs and handmade pieces.
