When students sign up for a class or workshop taught by a Certified Paverpol Instructor (CPI), they can be sure that they are getting quality instruction. Our CPIs provide the additional benefits of expanded training and creative projects developed by the entire Paverpol team.

We believe in promoting our CPIs as professional artists, not just as Paverpol teachers or sales persons. We feature their work in our national advertising, in juried art shows that we organize and sponsor, in magazines, in major trade show displays and our own brochures.

Paverpol North America has developed a unique Mentoring Program especially for our CPIs. These workshops are taught by talented professionals and art materials experts. Here they learn to incorporate Paverpol into many different mediums and disciplines. Our Mentors help the CPIs expand their knowledge and skill base in art forms such as mixed media, metal sculpture, needle felting, gourd art, mold making and casting, carving and more. We believe that this helps our instructors broaden their own base for teaching classes and workshops. We have a deep pool of talent to support our instructors and help them advance in their art.

It's also a great way to earn product discounts and generate additional income while doing what you love. Our CPIs of North America are required to complete three 2-day classes, submit projects for jury, and attend an annual “train-the-trainer” workshop for re-certification. Product discounts are increased at every level.

The CPIs of North America also receive the latest product news, new techniques and participate in CPI - only forums and the annual PaverParty. This year's PaverParty will be held in Manhattan, and includes display of their artwork in a NYC art gallery, enrichment classes in materials and a cocktail reception in the Rooftop Sculpture Garden of a well-known NY sculptor overlooking the Manhattan skyline.
