Tournées Générales avec Émilie Vast – Marseille

As part of the Tournées Générales de Libraires du Sud, meet Émilie Vast on Saturday, November 21 at 10:30 a.m. at the Le Poisson Lune bookstore in Marseille, to celebrate the release of her book « Mais où vont-ils ? », published by éditions MeMo.

FREE WORKSHOP FOR AGES 6 AND UP, FOLLOWED BY A BOOK SIGNING OPEN TO EVERYONE AT 11:30 a.m.

In her workshop, Émilie Vast will invite children to take inspiration from her latest book to make a fir branch and paper-cut animals.

With winter settled in and the animals hibernating, the fresh snow reveals a few very recent tracks… The animals are busy!

Squirrel gathers acorns hidden in the autumn, Deer finds the antlers it shed in the spring, Fox picks a few mushrooms, and Rabbit gathers the year’s last rosehips… Once they have all collected their bounty, they set off through the forest toward a

mysterious destination. Where are they going?

Born in 1978 in Epernay, Émilie Vast studied art and photography at ESAD in Reims. After completing her postgraduate degree (DNSEP), she decided to turn to graphic design, where she discovered vector drawing. This technique rekindled her childhood desire to draw—but this time, with perfect lines.

Émilie Vast plays with clean lines, flat color and contrast. Inspired by the graphic arts of the past and in love with nature, she stages plants and animals as characters who tell their stories in stylized, gentle and poetic illustrations.
