Olivia Chin is a Naarm (Melbourne) based artist working across sculpture, textiles and painting. Her practice explores memory, material histories and the connections between people, place and ecology.

Incinerator Gallery invites people aged 16+ to join a free art workshop series led by Olivia. Participants will collaboratively create a large-scale artwork to be permanently displayed in the Quiet Study Space at Ascot Vale Library, drawing inspiration from the local environment of Queens Park. Through hands-on making, individual responses—small gestures, shapes, fragments, and images—gradually come together to form a unified collective artwork.

Day 1 – Cyanotype Workshop held at Queens Park, Moonee Ponds (2hrs) participants will make cyanotypes outdoors for the collaborative work. Light refreshments and all materials provided - just wear clothes you don't mind getting a little marked. Detailed information will be provided a week prior via email.
Day 2 (optional) – Meet at the Ascot Vale Library and decide the layout for Cyanotypes in the Quiet Study Space, participants will hand sew sections of the work together and enjoy a morning tea.

While the park has accessible paths, some activities may take place on grass. We welcome participants with accessibility needs and encourage you to contact us in advance so we can plan accordingly. You can also let us know about any requirements in the accessibility questions on the booking page.

You are booking for both sessions.
