  • 5/5 from Pascaline Owers, attended Jun 2026: Teacher was great, she explained the techniques really well and we got plenty of opportunity to practice.
  • 5/5 from Kristen Paulson, attended Apr 2026: Wonderful instructor and well guided session
  • 5/5 from Winnie Yuen, attended Jan 2026: I purchased a gift card for my friend's birthday and we decided to do this class together to learn how to draw manga for interest to connect with our students/grandchildren. It was great to have Deborah teach us how to draw a manga girl or boy character as we were complete beginners. We were taken step-by-step to draw our character in pencil first, then outlined in marker, before tracing our drawing onto a canvas bag, then adding colour to it and lastly, outlining it in black marker again. My friend and I found the workshop very manageable and lots of fun. The best part was how happy we both were with our final result! We highly recommend this workshop to anyone with an interest to learn or practise their manga drawing skills. It is a workshop that caters for all ages and ability levels.

  • 5/5 from Chelsea Crowe, attended Aug 2023: My son and his friend participated in the Beginner Manga drawing class today and they had a blast! The teacher was so friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable and she made them feel comfortable straight away. She created a fun vibe for the students, while maintaining an atmosphere where they could learn and create. They loved the cosy, comfy and well lit space, along with the high quality art supplies. They each brought home a cool manga-inspired self-portrait, along with the skills to create more manga at home. I highly recommend this class for anyone wanting a fun and informative afternoon for their tween.

  • 4/5 from Qing Chi, attended Oct 2022: Deborah was very enthusiastic and engaged the kids well. She’s very helpful. The only thing was that the class was a mix of beginners and ongoing term students so it’s a bit distracting sometimes with the older kids. Thanks anyway!
