Silver Scissors Silhouettes brings the traditional art of the silhouette portrait to weddings, parties and corporate events. It is done exactly as it was in Georgian times: he studies each guest's profile and cuts it freehand from black paper with a small pair of scissors, right in front of them, in around ninety seconds.
Each portrait is presented in a smart 6 x 4 inch wallet card, ready to take home. Because every cut is so quick, he can usually complete 40 to 50 silhouettes in a two-hour booking, and guests love watching a likeness appear from a plain piece of paper. He is friendly and easy-going, puts people at ease, and is happy to mix and mingle or work from one spot.
He has been cutting silhouettes at events since 2005, at countless weddings and birthday parties and for clients including ExxonMobil, UEFA, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Celtic FC, British Airways, Scottish Power, the Hilton Group and Gleneagles Hotel, as well as events for the Armed Forces. Guests over the years have included well-known politicians and TV personalities.
Based in Scotland, Silver Scissors Silhouettes is one of very few silhouette artists working north of the border. He regularly covers Scotland and the north of England, and has travelled as far as London, Ireland and Jersey. He can also give a light-hearted talk on the history of silhouette art, with live demonstrations. Browse a selection of his work below.
