FAQ on pallets

Please look at the schedule that is posted and find out what type of pallet or size is being featured.  It will say this in the description.

I am not artistic, can I really do this? We will show you how to use the tools and help you with your design. This process allows you to come up with and make the sign with just a little help from us to make it perfect.

Do I have to design it? No. You each class will have category, in that category you can pick the design you want.  If you want to have a private class you must pick a category: paintings/ monograms/ sports/ quotes.  Please note that there are different sections in the quotes which are all categories.  You can not pick a category of quotes itself.  If you want something that we do not have you can submit your ideas by e-mail at artistsuncorkd@gmail.com.  There will be an addtional $5 fee if we create a design.  When you choose your design make sure you put the date/time and mydesign in the subject title.

Make sure you e-mail us what design you want and a description if that is require for that design.  Private parties the host will be required to send over all the information for each guest.

What kind a designs can we choose from?  Make sure you look at what event you signed up for and what size the pallet is!  In the description it will show you the design you can choose from.  If this is a private party the host will tell you which category you can look at.  If you do not see an  example you like you can also search google images, Etsy and Pinterest for “Pallet Sign.” This should give you a direction. You can email us example images or just a description and we’ll put together a design for you for your approval. If you choose an image that is not one of our examples we will charge you additional $5 fee.  REMEMBER please limit e-mails, if you send 8 different e-mails all with new designs it will get confusing not only for us, but for you. Pick your design and make sure you are positive you like it before you send us the e-mail!!!!

How do I sign up?  For public parties just look at when we have pallet paintings on our calendar!  If you want to sign up for a private party please send us an e-mail.  The host is in charge of collecting designs for the group.  Pallets can take up a lot of space, so if your planning on doing this at a home/ bar/ restaurant you need to keep in mind that you will need twice the room as painting.  See our pallet page for more information on the pallets.

Can two or more people work on the same sign? Sure. The price is per sign, so if a couple people want to work on one sign that is ok.

What’s the maximum number of people we can have in our class? We can accommodate 15 pretty comfortably. If you really want to squish them in we have done up to 20 at once.

How long does a class take? Plan on your class time taking around 2.5 hours. This does depend on how complex your designs are, how many people are in the class, if everyone arrives on time, how many different colors you pick for your sign, etc…

What is the process of making a sign? This depends on the design, if you selected a quote pallet class then we will go through the process and show you different paint techniques.We use a vinyl stencil process. After your design is approved by you, we cut the design out on a sheet of vinyl. At the class you will use an exact knife to separate out your pre-cut design, transfer the vinyl to your board, pick paint colors and stencil, then remove the stencil to reveal your sign.  If the pallet is an image we will walk you through the step by step process.
