Up-cycle once loved Vintage China giving it a very modern make-over.
About this Event

Give new life to vintage china in this up-cycling class!

First choose a pre-loved plate or teacup from Dotty’s very special vintage china collection. Each piece has been rooted out from the best garage sales, antique stalls and junk shops to select the ideal pieces to up-cycle.

The idea of this workshop is to give your plate, cup or bowl a new lease of life and turn it into a 'work of art' - customising the once loved china and giving it a very modern make-over .

Select from Dotty's special 'decal' designs....flowers, leaves, birds, butterflies, lips, insects and letters creating your own personal composition. Tattooing your china in effect! With a bit of magic and instruction from Claire, you'll be shown how to attach your special designs and learn how to make these permanent when you get home.

These plates make great presents and they also make a shelf very happy.

REVIEWS

"An absorbing and delightful morning with art to take home! Claire was a perfect teacher, informative with beautiful designs and examples. Thank you!" Susie B

"Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our time with you yesterday. Our plate and bowl have been ‘cooked’ and look great, thanks for your patience and inspiration." Julia

"The workshop was one of the best things I’ve done since moving to London a year ago. I left the session with a huge smile on my face and a bounce in my step, my creative juices given a boost and a reminder of how much arts and crafts is good for my soul." Emily
