The Creative Dimension Trust

Hand & Lock partners with The Creative Dimension Trust to deliver inspiring charity workshops that introduce young people to the world of traditional embroidery and craft. These workshops are designed to engage students, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, with the creative arts and provide them with the opportunity to explore craftsmanship in a hands-on, immersive environment.

During these sessions, participants learn foundational embroidery techniques, including stitching, beadwork, and fabric manipulation, under the guidance of skilled artisans from Hand & Lock. In addition to developing practical skills, students gain an appreciation for the artistry and history of embroidery, understanding its cultural significance and how it has evolved over centuries.

These workshops also foster essential life skills such as patience, attention to detail, and problem-solving, while encouraging self-expression and boosting confidence. By providing young people with access to the tools, knowledge, and mentorship in these fields, the partnership promotes creativity and offers pathways into potential careers in the arts and crafts sector.

Hand & Lock’s collaboration with The Creative Dimension Trust is more than just a learning experience - it's an opportunity to spark a passion for craftsmanship, helping young people discover their creative potential and inspiring them to pursue a future in the arts.
