Dotwork
Dotwork is a style and technique in which the design is built from single dots, whose density creates shapes and gradients. In products it appears in descriptions of needles and machines indicated by the manufacturer for this type of work.
Why it matters: It is an industry usage indication, not a standard technical classification.
