What is a silhouette cutter?

A silhouette cutter is an artist who cuts a guest's profile freehand from black paper using only scissors and a sharp eye, usually in a couple of minutes. The finished silhouette is mounted on card for the guest to take home.

It is an old craft with a vintage charm that suits weddings, Gatsby and Parisian nights and elegant corporate events. Because each cut is quick, an artist can see a steady stream of guests, and watching it happen is part of the entertainment.

Where it works best

Christmas parties
A personal take-home from the night.
Gatsby nights
A vintage art form for a 1920s party.
Corporate receptions
A personal gift guests actually keep.
Weddings
A keepsake favour for every guest.
Parisian themes
Old-world charm for a French night.
Brand events
Silhouettes mounted on branded card.

Tips from our team

1
Manage the queue
Place the artist where a queue will not block a walkway or the bar.
2
Set up in good light
A bright, even light on the guest's profile makes for a crisp silhouette.
3
Brand the mounts
Silhouettes can be mounted on cards with your names, date or logo.

Which postcodes around Market Drayton do you cover?

All of TF9, including Loggerheads, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Hinstock and Norton in Hales, plus the rest of Staffordshire and nearby Madeley, Eccleshall, Whitchurch and Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Can the silhouettes be personalised?

Yes. Cards can be printed with your names, date, event title or logo.

Can couples or children be cut together?

Often, yes. Ask the artist on the day, as group silhouettes take a little longer.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
