Changes In Father's Time Class

Copic Father's Time
June 2nd 9:00- 10:30
June 2nd 4:00- 5:30
June 20th 2:00-3:30



There have been some changes to this class from when it was posted on Saturday. At the time I had it listed as a coloring class in which you could also use Tombow markers. This has changed to a Copic markers only class. While you could color this image anyway you wished, Copics were used and frankly they are the best.

We have also added two more times in June to take this class, a Wednesday afternoon and an early bird Saturday morning class. The dates for this class are posted above and the price for this 1 1/2 hour class is $15.00. So if you are in love with your Copics and want more Copic classes, your wish has been granted.

And as mentioned in the previous post this is card that would work for Father's Day or any male occasion. If you wish to join us for Copic Father's Time class please call or email Vicki Byers at the shop.

A Chat About Copic 101 Classes

I thought I would spend a little time talking to you about the Copic 101 classes. Vicki and I have been working on how best to present this new line of classes to you. We have classes schedule through June and so far we have four different time slots; one on Wednesday and three on Saturday.  The early-bird Saturday classes are filled through June so don't get too excited about that one.

Because of the interest in these classes and the fact I'm keeping the class size to around six people, you really shouldn't dawdle when you see a class you like. You need to contact Vicki Byers ASAP otherwise we can't guarantee you a place. They are that popular. If more people joining I will consider adding a fifth monthly class but so far it looks like this will work.

Copic 101 isn’t so much a stamping class as a coloring art class. Copic markers are profession markers and because of the vast color range many color opportunities are open to us that the Tombow palette didn’t provide. We will be learning how to shade with color and where to shade. So if you join please be aware that these classes are a little meatier that my regular stamping classes. I guess I’m trying to say there is a learning curve involved. So give yourself time to learn. Personal I’m really enjoying this challenge.

Also, we are trying our best to make purchasing the class color list a little less painful. On the class color list I have marked the colors that are minor colors. Some colors are used in small amounts and you have the choice of delaying the purchase of those color choices. Add those colors to you wish list and you may use mine in class. 

Also, I will be using Copic markers in my other classes and eventually in the Cardz to Go kits. But I will always provide the Tombow colors for those that have invested in the Tombows and don’t wish to switch. Eventually I will have a Copic/Tombow Color Comparison List available on the blog for those that wish to know which Tombows compare to which Copic.

I hope I’ve answered the most obvious questions you have about this new and excited venture.

You’ve seen the Pure Innocence stamps all around the “inter-webs” and we have them too.  These simple stamps look wonderful when colored with the Copic markers. But because they are very simple line drawings they can present some challenges when coloring.  In this class we will focus on coloring skin tones with the Copics.  Joins us for a low stress high learning class.

The Copic 101 classes fill in a hurry, don't delay!

Announcing Copic Coloring Classes

Copic 101 Sunset Hibiscus Mini Class
March 13th 6:00 & March 24th 10-12

This is the first in a new series of classes that will feature coloring with Copic Sketch markers.  You may have noticed the Copic fever that has swept over the stamping community. Copic markers are artist grade markers that use an alcohol ink. And frankly they can color unlike other markers. My Copic classes will be small and will focus on coloring, where to shade, how to blend and when to highlight. It is not required to purchase markers for class.  But if you wish to have your own, you may reserve this first set of markers by contacting Vicki Byers at the shop.
