5. You’ll recognise the work of this talented, energetic street artist, Hannah Chloe aka Adamaszek, from her contribution to Walthamstow’s Mural on the Marsh. Known on the street art scene for bringing a delicate, painterly touch to her urban works, she also creates softer edged portraits and has a penchant for featuring foxes. She’ll be creating art on site on the day. It may or may not feature a fox.
Walthamstow Town Square, Walthamstow, E17, Sunday, August 17, noon until 5pm. Details: street17.co.uk
