Aimed at kids of seven plus, the free Make a Manga Comic workshops on Saturday 6th August 2017 (at 11.00am and 2.00pm) offer the opportunity to create your own comic inspired by the Museum’s collection of Japanese manga. Learn the secrets of manga comic artists, develop digital design skills to tell a story with characters from the Museum, then print and take your creation home.
Sessions last up to 120 minutes. To secure a place (places are limited) sign up on the day of the session at the Samsung Digital Discovery Centre.
• These workshops are just two in a series of activities for children at the Museum this month – check out the whole list here
