Shamanic postcards with the artist Camille Van Hoof<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Creative illustration workshops (Indian ink and paint) inspired by the worlds of Xavier Noiret-Thom\u00e9 and Henk Vish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Postcards truly are wonderful things: they act as portals to magical realms. Once you post them, they become time bombs of emotions, messages sent through time.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s use them as amulets, as offerings to the magical beings who inhabit our minds. Let\u2019s turn into shamans, let\u2019s share our ancestral wisdom, let\u2019s whip out some feathers, pens and brushes and let\u2019s send\u2009\u2013\u2009without delay\u2009\u2013\u2009a message to the cosmos.<\/p>\n

\u200916.09.2020 – Postcard \/ offering to the house sprites<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Storytelling\/illustration\/collage<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll draw on a blank postcard a picture of one of the many sprites that you might find in your home, office, workshop or any other place of your daily life! For instance, the imp who steals your socks, the radiant fairy who whispers ideas into your ears or the mischievous troll who entangles your wires and your thoughts.<\/p>\n

For this, we\u2019ll work in black and white and incorporate one or more natural elements (pieces of wood, leaves, pebbles, feathers, etc.).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

30.09.2020 – Shamanic masks to get rid of all your problems\u2009<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Storytelling\/painting\/collage<\/p>\n

Each participant shall explain one thing that ails them (heartache, problems at work, existential angst, disappearing socks\u2026). Then we will solve those issues using our shamanic power.<\/p>\n

First we\u2019ll come up with ceremonial masks inspired either by African and Amerindian masks or by fairytale creatures then we\u2019ll paint them on a large surface.<\/p>\n

Indian ink drawing\/imagination
\nThe great works of arts can be somewhat intimidating and you may be scared of trying to adapt them, even more so if you\u2019re not used to drawing.
\n<\/strong>We\u2019ll play a portrait game. It\u2019s a drawing game where you only need your ears for listening and a pencil in your hand.
\n<\/strong>We\u2019ll make our own postcard-sized \u2018copies\u2019 of famous paintings.<\/p>\n

Drawing\/Painting\/Crafting<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using clay, very fine brushes, twigs, pebbles, and such we\u2019ll create talismans to curry favours with the house sprites and to cast our problems away.<\/p>\n
