Classes and Certifications around the World

Now is the time to plan your Summer events. All the Copic instructors are busy planning for some great classes, and you can make your vacation this year a Copic Vacation. Beyond the Mixed-Media Copic Ink & Art event, and the Stamping Retreat in June, there are lots of other great Copic experiences coming this Summer to a city near you.

Upcoming Local Events
April is almost here! If you live locally and can't come to my book signing and gallery show at DIVA on Friday, April 1, then you can always register for my marker rendering workshop. I will be teaching a basic Marker Rendering class on Thursday, April 21, from 7 to 9pm at DIVA Gallery in Eugene. We'll cover basic marker care, techniques, choosing papers, and airbrushing,. If you are interested, please contact DIVA, at www.divanow.org

Also, in August, I will be teaching some free teen comic drawing workshops at Eugene Downtown Library as well as the Sheldon and Bethel Branch Libraries. We also sponsor one day of art at the Lane County Fair, in the Youth Art pavillion, so stay tuned for more opportunities
