Body Field Workshop - 26 Oct

Incinerator Gallery invites young people aged 12 to 25 to a free arts workshop series that blends creativity with environmental engagement. Led by visual artist Olivia Chin and horticulturalist-musician Alyse Kent, you'll learn how to engage with the environment using your senses—seeing, touching, and hearing.

In these workshops, you’ll explore themes like connection and environmental stewardship, encouraging you to re-imagine urban spaces through your own unique perspective. You'll experiment with mediums like charcoal, paint, photography, and sound while contributing to a large-scale banner artwork for the Body Field exhibition at the gallery in December.

These free workshops are open to all skill levels, with materials and light snacks provided. While attending both workshops is encouraged, you're welcome to join even if you can only attend one.

Workshop 2: Saturday, 26 October, 2 - 4pm

Location: Meet at Incinerator Gallery (180 Holmes Road, Aberfeldie)
