MODOMI
School of Manga, Comics & Visual Storytelling
Modomi is House of Stars’ creative school for manga, comics and visual storytelling. Our courses, clubs and learning programmes are led by professional artists who share the skills they use in their own practice — from drawing and illustration to comics, manga, zine-making and storytelling. Learn through making, experimenting and developing your own creative voice.
Modomi Manga Classes
Love manga and anime?
MODOMI Manga Classes bring a little bit of Japan to Monday evenings in Dartford. Hosted inside Kitsune Sakura Ramen and taught by manga author and artist Nadia Perrotta, the classes mix creative learning with the atmosphere of a Japanese restaurant.
​
Come to develop your drawing, character design and storytelling skills, try out new ideas and spend time with other manga fans. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already filling sketchbooks with characters of your own, the sessions are relaxed, friendly and open to all ages.
Zine Club
​A creative workshop led by young professional artist Phoenix Parris, where you can learn the art of zine-making through hands-on practice.
​
Each session explores a different technique or format, from folding, binding and collage to fanzines, perzines, mini comics and accordion zines. You’ll also discover the history and DIY culture behind zines while experimenting with drawing, writing and visual storytelling.​
​
For ages 16–25. Younger participants are welcome where appropriate when accompanied by a responsible adult.
