frequently asked questions

Is there an age limit for attending classes?

Yes, typically, my classes are designed for individuals aged 12 years and older. However, I do consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis, especially if there is an older individual accompanying a younger participant. Your passion for dot painting is what matters most, and I'm open to accommodating various situations. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out, and I'll be happy to assist you.

When do I need to arrive for the class?

I recommend that you arrive 15 minutes early to allow you time to settle in and mingle with your friends

Do you encourage tips?

"While I certainly appreciate monetary tips (who doesn't?), I also greatly value tips in other forms such as referrals, Facebook or Nextdoor reviews, or sharing my business card with your friends!"

What is the typical duration of your classes?

Classes generally run for approximately 2 hours, though the specific duration may vary based on factors such as the project complexity, class size, and students' prior experience."

Where do you get your rocks?

I hand cast my own rocks using Ultracal 30. It is a cement mixture that I pour into molds. After drying I fill any holes and then sand before painting them black

How can I set the paint on my ceramic creations to make them dishwasher safe?

After painting, let the ceramics air dry for a couple of days. When it's time to set the paint, it's crucial to heat the ceramics gradually to prevent cracking. Place your painted ceramic item in a cool oven and then set the temperature to 350°F. After the oven is up to temperature, set a timer for 30 minutes. After the baking time, turn off the oven, but do not remove the ceramics immediately. Leave them inside the oven to cool gradually, which can take an hour or two. This gradual cooling process allows the painted surface to cure and cool properly. Once fully cooled, your ceramics are ready to use, with the paint set, making them dishwasher safe and resilient for everyday use.

What kind of paints do you use?

I have found that the best brand of paint for dot painting is Americana Deco Art Paints as the consistency is just right for making dots
