Charles Burns

You can book a private sittng with Charles Burns at one of his Studio Day events.

"I'll cut both your portraits freehand with scissors. Each session includes two signed silhouettes, delivered to you by post after the event"

How does it work?

Studio Days take place online. You will book a short private Zoom session with the well-known silhouettist Charles Burns.

Each Studio Day is divided into a number of 10-minute sessions, each available at a fraction of the cost of booking Charles for an event.

One session is enough to cut two silhouettes, either as a pair of classic "cameo" portraits or as one double silhouette. Alternatively you can use the session for Charles to cut a single full-length silhouette. He is currently the only living artist capable of doing this as a freehand cutting!

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, together with a certificate of authenticity, and post them free of charge anywhere in the world.
