Single Session Workshops and Class Schedule

Students everywhere are interested these days in manga and comics storytelling. What we try to encourage at StoryArk is learning the basics of visual narrative, the fundamentals of communication, handling of materials and finding one's voice.

We do single session Manga workshops at libraries all around New York and Connecticut. We provide a brief overview and context, demonstrate professional tools and encourage the students to develop their own ideas. In many wokshops, students can take home their supplies for later play and exploration. We can also retool Manga workshop into a basic comics workshop.
