2014 COPIC Classes @ The Inspiration Station

Happy New Year!  I am happy to say that I am back sharing my passion for coloring.  It is one of the most relaxing things that I do lately.  It brings me back to simpler times and allows me to escape from they busy lives that we seem to have lately.  It's very important to take time for ourselves and do something that we want to.  We all deserve time like that!

I have six different COPIC technique classes that I am offering so far this year:

Learn COPIC Coloring Basics:  If you are new to COPIC markers, then this class is for you and where you should begin your COPIC journey.  During this class you will practice MANY different color-blending techniques, creating transparent balloons and patterns. Prepare to be hooked on COPIC coloring and feeling like a kid again!   Supplies Needed for class: Nothing but a pen for notes if you choose to add to the information provided to you.  You do NOT need any of your own markers for this class.  The instructor will provide handouts and different sets of markers to be used / shared during class.
