Copic Papercrafting Certification Overview
The Copic Certification Program is designed for papercrafters, scrapbookers, rubber stampers, store owners, store employees and store designers. Our one-day intensive programs will teach diverse applications for Copic products with the intent of people sharing them with their classes, stores, workshops, or furthering their personal talent.
Once you are a Copic Certified Designer you will be listed above through our Copic Certified Instructor Search. This allows people interested in having a workshop or class on Copic techniques to contact you directly.
