  • ‘Magic amulet’  - Camille Van Hoof

Drawing/Painting/Crafting

Using clay, very fine brushes, twigs, pebbles, and such we’ll create talismans to curry favours with the house sprites and to cast our problems away.

Camille Van Hoof is an author and an illustrator. She’s written and drawn the album ‘Odd Tree’ (Drôle d’arbre)  (Versant Sud Jeunesse). During the day, she creates comics. They are often about magic, strange worlds and characters in need of something more in life. At night (um, actually, also during the day), she runs funny odd courses for children and adults alike, such as a ‘spying course’ or a ‘magic course’.
