How does it work?

Silhouette-cutting takes place online.

You will book a short, private Zoom meeting with the well-known silhouettist Charles Burns. Each studio day is divided into a number of 10-minute sittings, each available at a fraction of the cost of booking Charles for an event.

One sitting is enough to cut silhouettes of two people, either as a pair of classic cameo portraits or as one double silhouette. Two consecutive sessions will make silhouettes for a family of four, and so on.

At the end of the day Charles will mount the silhouettes onto signed cards, backed with a stamped certificate of authenticity, and post them free of charge anywhere in the world.
