About this event

Welcome to our Vintage China Cake Stand Workshop!

Design something uniquely you at our drop-in Vintage China Workshop! Choose from our curated collection of rare and discontinued plates and teacups—each one individually priced between $3 and $25—then select your hardware:

$10 for 1–2 tiers

$15 for 3–4 tiers

We'll guide you through every step of the assembly process so you can create a one-of-a-kind cake stand perfect for brunch, high tea, or gifting.

🕰 Reservations recommended — select your timed entry. You'll have a one-hour window to arrive and choose your plates and hardware.

Plate drilling is done on-site and may take 30–45 minutes depending on how many guests are ahead of you. If you'd like to wander, grab coffee, or explore while you wait, we’re happy to text you when your plates are ready — or you’re welcome to stay and browse.

Create at your own pace — we’ll guide you through every step!
