I am wicked excited to be hosting an online class all about Copics and coloring with alcohol-based markers. In this online class, we are going to focus on our coloring techniques, tips, and tricks while working in a workbook that is shipped to you. We will not be creating completed cards or projects, instead, we will focus on learning and practicing as much as we can to improve our coloring! I will be sharing specifics about Copic Markers, and what I have learned coloring with them for 20 years. Most alcohol-based markers work similarly, but I won’t be able to answer specific questions about different brands of markers.
I will be hosting this online class LIVE, on May 6th from 11a-5p ET (with an hour break). The class cost is $80. This class will be virtual and hosted online LIVE in private YouTube videos, a workbook will be shipped to each attendee. You do not need to have a Facebook account to be able to attend, and you don’t need to attend the class during the scheduled time as you will have access to the replays.
update as of April 12th: Please note if you are an international customer purchasing this class there is no guarantee that it will arrive in time to attend the LIVE May 6th class. However, you will still have access to join me LIVE, and you can watch the replays and color along when your workbook arrives.
update as of April 29th: Please note if you customer in the US purchasing this class there is no guarantee that it will arrive in time to attend the LIVE May 6th class. However, you will still have access to join me LIVE, and you can watch the replays and color along when your workbook arrives.

Supplies Needed
Since a workbook will be provided you won’t need specific stamps for this class. I will provide the specific Copic markers I will be using, however, I encourage you to use what you have during class and choose after class if you want to buy new colors. A supply list will be provided to attendees soon.
It is not required to have the same markers or marker colors as me. This is a learning class, not a class where we will be creating finished projects, so if I am coloring with pinks, you can be coloring with browns. However, if you are looking to purchase ANY of these supplies I provide a list of my favorite places to shop on my site here.

I am late for this review but here is the truth—- Jenn is the best teacher ever. I struggle with coloring and need to practice, practice, practice! Kudos to Jenn for this class and for your time and love of this craft. Much love and gratitude !

Never having owned markers previously, I was soaking in all the information Jenn shared… she has so many great tips and advice. Would love to see what a part 2 could include as I will need a lot of practice to master the initial skills shared in this class. I feel I still have a lot to learn before I would attempt to make a card.

Not only was coloring the highlight of this class, but the detailed information about the Copic numbering system, changing the nibs, refilling the ink, color combinations for shading are a must before you can begin to color. What an education! I have some copic markers. Ordered more to standarize the color coding/shading matches as well as the Lawn Fawn stamp ink pads that are alcohol ink friendly. thank you so much Jenn! I look forward to your next class of any topic.

The class was exactly as expected! The little workbook is different than what I pictured but still adorable and thoughtful. Jenn’s instructions are clear and easy to follow. I took this class live and played along but didn’t get to everything and know I can always pick it back up again with the replays.

OH MY WORD!!! I really hesitated taking this class. But boy am I glad I did, as I learned so much! Paper, how to properly read the Copic numbers, and why colors would not blend even when they look like they could/should. And changing the nibs for better control. Truly mind blowing. And the way Jenn teaches was just right. Great pace, clear, and answered questions along the way. I wish there were more stars to give! Thank you for helping me pull my markers off the shelf and truly use them properly! Coloring/blending/shading has been made fun again.

I had the BEST time in this Copic 101 online class! Jenn covered any possible questions imaginable, and encouraged us to modify everything to our tastes and abilities. I’m a beginner, and it helped to watch her Copic video on YouTube that she did a while back, and wasn’t lost at all. The handout that she provided for download is beautiful, covers everything she teaches, and looks so good in the class binder I bought from her online store. I refer to the replayable class, the handout and enjoy coloring and practicing. I couldn’t be happier.

The class was pretty good. I felt there was way too much time spent in the beginning on the actual markers. I think that could have been cut way down. Which then caused the class to be super rushed towards the end. I couldn’t even keep up with what she was displaying. I am glad about the handout because that is nice to have some of the details from the class. I did enjoy learning the blending & shading techniques, as I don’t know how to do much with my Copics. So that part of the class was wonderful. Jenn clearly has a lot of experience and knowledge so if she were to offer a “102” class, I would take it.

Fun and informative! Learned a lot about my Copic! Now I just need to practice. Thanks Jenn!

Whether you’re new to coloring with copics or any alcohol markers, you will love Jenn’s class. She has tips and techniques for beginners to someone who has been doing this for years. I would highly recommend taking her class and see how she will help you expand your creativity.

I highly recommend this class, even if you are new to coloring with copics. Jenn walked us through marker basics, copic-friendly supplies, and her favorite 2-colour blends. During the demos, she provided lots of tips and tricks. I love that we can print more workbook pages so we can continue to practice and try out different blends. You really only need a few markers to get started!
