WHETHER YOUR COMPANY XMAS BASH, or an important product-launch, a silhouettist will feel a natural part of the event. I will work with you to ensure the silhouettes blend seamlessly with the mood you wish to create. I find people love to watch silhouettes of their colleagues taking shape. Silhouette cutting is at once both entertaining and unobtrusive. Since my tools are so simple (just paper and scissors) it can blend seamlessly into almost any kind of event.
Silhouette cutting: how does it work?
If you’re new to silhouette cutting and unsure how it might work, I’d love to meet you on Zoom to discuss your event. I can give you a flavour of what I do by cutting you silhouettes – to that of a colleague – live as we chat! Just fill out the form below, or if you prefer pick a slot in my calendar here. Either way, we’ll be in touch soon.
Silhouette cutting works well as:
- Table entertainment at sit-down gala dinners
- Mix-and-mingle entertainment at a standing reception
- An attraction an conferences and trade shows
- Family portraits at summer fun days
- … and many others

Booking a silhouettist guest speaker
YOU MIGHT ASSUME that the market for guest speakers on silhouettes would occupy the tiniest of niches in a niche of the already niche market for speaker about art! Yet silhouettes touch a deep nerve…
Drawing a crowd at a conference stand

Are you the only artist who does this?
