Each stand is completely customizable, so pricing depends on the plates you choose. Most guests spend between $25–$60 to create their perfect stand.
Are You...
Looking for a fun, hands-on way to spend an afternoon with friends or family?
Searching for something more memorable than just another lunch date or shopping trip?
Wanting to do something creative, but worried it’ll be too complicated or messy to pull off?
Our Vintage China Workshops make it simple and stress-free to turn a pile of pretty plates into a stunning cake stand you’ll actually use and treasure.
Imagine if...
You could stroll into a charming space, hand-pick beautiful plates, and have us drill them on the spot while you sip coffee from next door, browse, or chat with friends.
You could create a tiered stand that’s perfect for brunch, high tea, dessert tables, or as a heartfelt gift for someone special.
You could repurpose heirloom china, giving it new life while creating something meaningful and unique.
And imagine leaving not just with a gorgeous stand, but with a story to tell every time someone asks, “Where did you get that?”
