Alison is unique in the group in coming from a long family tradition of silhouette cutting; she learned the art from her grandmother in America at a young age! Skilled in all things paper, she is also an accomplished paper folder & origami artist. Alison studied graphics and jewellery design Alison and has worked with us for many years as a Roving Artist.

Based in London, she especially enjoys working at weddings and company fun days, and is conveniently placed to travel to events anywhere around London & the south of England.
