Back in Helston by VERY popular demand! Join manga artist and writer Keith Sparrow for a fun and creative manga drawing workshop for those aged 10+. Young artists will learn how to design their own exciting manga characters with step-by-step guidance, using pencil and colour.

In this interactive session, young artists will discover simple techniques for drawing expressive faces, action poses and unique characters, while building confidence in their creativity. Keith has been drawing and collecting comics since childhood and now runs popular manga workshops across Cornwall.
Perfect for young fans of manga and comics, no experience needed, just bring your imagination!
