Silhouette Artists and Silhouette Cutting in Scotland

Silhouette cutting is an ancient art revisited. What you receive from a Silhouette cutting artist is a mounted profile portrait of yourself, cut directly from black art paper in minutes. The artist then fixes the finished silhouette on to a ready prepared mount.

All functions can be catered for. The artist can roam from table to table during dinner; mingle with guests at champagne receptions, or take a seat and invite guests to pose for their portrait.

This is an excellent ice-breaker. A talking point that's sure to keep everyone amused for hours.

Probably, the most important element of Silhouette cutting, is that the guest takes home, a lovely, unique souvenir of the event. The mount is a handy 5" by 7" size. Just tailor made for slipping into a frames which can be purchased inexpensively at most supermarkets and high street stores.

Silhouette art has been around from the stone age times, where the cave walls were decorated with images of the hunters & their prey. It was also very prominant in Greek & Roman times. Much later around the 17th and 18th century, paper cutting silhouettes became very popular in Western Europe. Many profiles of leading figures, poets & artists of the day were captured this way. For example, the Robert Burns' silhouette is probably as well known as the Bard himself.

For very special occasions our such as Birthdays, Weddings, Retirement Parties, our Silhouette Artists can also prepare a nicely framed Silhouette in advance that can be presented to your guest of honour on the day. The ultimate personalised, special gift for anyone.
