If you do not own any or many Copic markers there will be some for you to borrow during class.  Do bring a color chart of all the colors that you own if you want to expand your collection and do not want to duplicate or if you need advice on what colors to get next.  I will be adding a list of recommended colors for each class so be sure to check my blog for updates on classes before you come to my class.
