Manga Painting Class for Children aged 10-15
Our manga drawing course for children and teenagers aged 10-15 is designed to develop unique skills in creating characters and comics in the popular manga style. In these lessons, students will learn the basics of manga, how to draw expressive characters, develop storylines, and use typical manga elements such as emotions, details, and composition.
Throughout the course, students will explore various drawing techniques, including line work, shading, creating backgrounds, and working with textures. We will also focus on color, perspective, and the specific layout of manga panels. Each lesson combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice, giving students the opportunity to create their own mini-comic or series of drawings in the manga style.
The classes are conducted in a creative atmosphere where every student can unlock their potential and master the unique Japanese art style.

How it works:
Duration of the Lessons
You can choose the option that suits your child best: we offer packages of 10 or 20 lessons.
You simply select a weekday and time that works well for you – your child will then attend class at this fixed time every week.
Regular attendance helps them stay engaged and continue growing creatively.
If your child misses a class, no problem: they may attend twice in one week during the course period to make up for the missed session.
Please note: missed classes are not rescheduled or carried over to future weeks.
You’re welcome to book a trial lesson (available once) to get to know us and our teaching approach.
Please note that we do not offer single/drop-in lessons, as our program is designed for continuous learning in a course structure.
What Happens During the Lessons?
Our lessons follow a unique, in-house program designed with children's age and skill levels in mind. We offer classes for two age groups: 7–10 years and 11+ years. Step by step, kids learn the fundamentals of drawing, composition, and painting.
The program is designed to span several years, giving each child the time and space to grow at their own pace — with no pressure, just joy in creativity.
We create a warm, supportive atmosphere where children feel confident and free to express themselves through art.
You’re welcome to explore the full curriculum in our studio — we’d be happy to show you around and answer any questions!
Children are free to take breaks during class at any time. Fresh fruit is always available in our studio, so our young artists can recharge and stay inspired.
Holidays Courses
Dear Parents, welcome to our Art Camp!
Every day, we embark on new creative projects: ceramics, organic soap making, candle crafting, scented wax pendants, and painting with liquid acrylics. We also have a daily drawing lesson, where children explore various materials and techniques. They’ll have the opportunity to try painting with watercolors and tempera, enjoy free drawing time, and participate in lessons where the teacher explains essential drawing techniques.
Each day, children also have several playtime sessions in the playground, along with fun sports activities like tug-of-war, sack races, and other team games that help the children make new friends. We provide healthy snacks, fruits, vegetables, and delicious lunches to keep everyone energized.
All your child needs to bring is a water bottle. We'll take care of the rest!
