Workshops and lectures will be led by specialists who are acknowledged as leaders in their field, including the Director of The Royal Collection Trust Tim Knox, haute couture embroiderer Amy Burt, ex-Head Pastry Chef to The Royal Household Kathryn Cuthbertson MVO, Deputy Surveyor of The Queen’s Works of Art Caroline de Guitaut, and world-renowned fresco and mural painter Sarah Hocombe.
As a fundraising initiative, all proceeds will go towards TCDT’s charitable work, which enables less advantaged young people to work with global specialists, developing fine hand skills to inspire future careers.
TCDT offers free online and in-venue workshops, with world-class tuition and materials, to young people who wish to develop their hand skills. TCDT demonstrates the wide range of career paths available and equips its students with valuable transferrable skills. TCDT aims to have 80% of participants from less advantaged backgrounds. Alumni have pursued careers in architecture, engineering, fine art, jewellery making, art conservation, glass working, theatre design, fashion and costume design.
