Description
About Charles Burns Silhouettist The artist will wander the room cutting portraits of your wedding guests freehand with a pair of scissors. Each silhouette takes about 2 minutes to make and is mounted on a souvenir card printed with your names and wedding date. After the event, you'll receive a set of prints featuring all the silhouettes as a unique artistic memento of the day. You can can book Charles Burns himself or (for those on a budget) one of a small, hand-picked team of silhouettist who work with him. After leaving art college Charles began his career as a street artist in Covent Garden, London, drawing portraits for tourists. During this inauspicious beginning he taught himself to cut silhouettes because "nobody else seemed to be doing it". Today he is a well-known figure, making appearances at some of London's most elegant high-society events and attending weddings all over their UK and overseas. He three times cut the portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth, as well as silhouettes of both current monarchs. Guests are amazed at the speed and accuracy of his portraits and will leave will a unique memento of your big day. Read more
