Upcoming Papercrafting Certification Classes
There are two ways to get an application for any of the upcoming classes. For any class that has already had the application already sent out you need to e-mail me at marianne@copicmarker.com and I will gladly send you one. For any class that has not had applications sent out please add yourself to the mailing list using the green sign-in box on the right. Be sure to mark which location for certification you are interested in, or you will not get an application on that mailing.
