I recently attended a Copic Certification class. I am now Copic Certified, which means I can teach others how to use Copic markers! I am so delighted that I now know just a bit more about using Copics than I did before I went. I must practice, practice, practice, because I want to go to the Intermediate class when it becomes available in our area. Our instructor was Colleen Schaan. She has a new book available on Amazon.com The Copic Coloring Guide. She was very knowledgeable and kept our attention very well. She is the Regional Copic Certification Instructor of the South/East Coast area. She is also a recognized Ranger Educator.
