Heals are hosting vintage china upcyling classes early next year, and give you the opportunity to learn the techniques to carefully bring life back a previously loved piece.

‘Give life to your vintage china in our upcycling class at Heals. First choose a pre-loved plate or teacup from The Indytute’s very special vintage china collection. Each piece has been rooted out by the Indytute china scout, who has scoured garage sales, antique stalls and junk shops to select the ideal pieces to upcycle’
