Jackie had this to say about the class she attended in Berkshire  “All four of us had a great day at the Copics class run by Wendy from Stamps and Memories. Karen & Wendy taught us basic colouring techniques using the Copic pens and filled us in on all there is to know about Copics. Of course a few more pens came home with me and a couple of stamps…Cant wait to go on the next class for some more advanced techniques”.  Jackie Da Silva
