Top Hat Silhouettes brings the elegant Victorian art of silhouette cutting to weddings, parties and corporate events. Working freehand with a small pair of scissors and black paper, he studies each guest's profile and cuts a likeness in three to five minutes, right in front of them.
His warm, chatty manner is part of the entertainment. Guests sit side-on for a few minutes, enjoy the conversation, and leave with a portrait presented in a smart mount card - a keepsake that is far more personal than the usual party favour.
He has cut silhouettes at weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, bar and bat mitzvahs, Christmas parties, awards dinners, product launches and exhibitions. Clients over the years have included IBM, KPMG, Canon, BMW, Nissan, M&S and Oxford University.
Often seen in a velvet frock coat and top hat, he fits right in at themed events, from Gatsby nights to Regency balls. He can also cut silhouettes from photos of friends, family or pets, which make a lovely gift. Based in Oxfordshire, Top Hat Silhouettes regularly works across London, the Thames Valley, the Midlands and the South West, and will travel throughout the UK.
