We are excited to announce that our sixth corner window display at Fortnum & Mason’s flagship store in London’s Piccadilly is on display until 5th October. This year’s display focusses on student creations from this summer’s Puppet Making workshop led by Susie Vickery, who has worked for over twenty years as a theatrical costumier in Australia and the UK.
Eight students aged 16–19 years old attended the workshop, which was inspired by historical figures. Each puppet is complete with custom clothes, period hairstyles and articulated joints, celebrating the creativity and hand skills of our students.
Now working across workshops, insight days, schools and work experiences, The Creative Dimension Trust enables young people to develop confidence in their manual dexterity and 2D to 3D thinking skills.
About The Creative Dimension Trust
The Creative Dimension Trust (TCDT) offers workshops designed to equip talented young people with the skills and confidence to pursue careers where core hand skills – such as manual dexterity, draftsmanship, and the ability to understand and reconstruct three-dimensional structures – are essential.
Courses are free of charge for all successful applicants, with recruitment conducted directly through schools in areas of social and economic deprivation or geographic isolation. TCDT aims for 80% of participants to come from underserved backgrounds.
Skills are taught by craft specialists who are acknowledged leaders in their fields. These are not children’s art classes; rather, they are opportunities to learn, experiment, build confidence, draw inspiration from top professionals, and explore potential career paths. Students leave with a clearer understanding of what is possible and how to achieve it.
Support Our Work
TCDT is reliant on donations and we are continuously fundraising to ensure we can continue to offer FREE tuition and materials to our students. If you are able to donate, your help would be very welcome. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to shaping future careers together.
