TCDT’s fourth window display at Fortnum & Mason, Piccadilly

TCDT’s fourth corner window display with Fortnum & Mason, featuring the creative outcomes of young people across London aged 14-19 attending our workshops, was on display at the Piccadilly store from 23rd September until 6th October 2024. Themed around Japanese art and culture, it showcased three distinct elements developed in workshops during the summer holidays.

1. Marbling Workshop: Ten students collaboratively created delicate Suminagashi marbled silk panels in black and white, a technique dating back to the 8th century. These dramatic panels are featured as a backdrop in the display.
2. Furniture Making Workshop: 8 Students crafted Japanese solid hardwood beech stools using traditional joinery techniques, highlighting the immense skill and craftsmanship of Japanese furniture making.
3. Embroidery Workshop: 12 Students created 3D petals arranged in the Ikebana style, the Japanese art of flower arranging, symbolising ‘making flowers come alive’.

This display not only celebrates Japanese culture but also the creativity and dedication of young Londoners. The Creative Dimension Trust is always looking for new funding to support and expand its programmes, ensuring more young people can benefit from these enriching experiences.
