Guests are beginning to arrive. Many have never met. In walks Charles, a silhouettist. At first, he blends in, just another guest. But soon, scissors in hand, he reveals his talent—cutting elegant, lightning-fast portraits with astonishing accuracy.

A master of his craft for nearly 30 years, Charles began as a street portrait artist in Covent Garden before reviving the lost art of silhouette cutting. His impressive portfolio includes silhouettes of Queen Elizabeth II (three times) and President Clinton at the National Portrait Gallery.

Performing at prestigious events across the UK and internationally, Charles transforms gatherings into unforgettable experiences. Whether at weddings, corporate functions, or private parties, he mingles effortlessly, engaging guests while creating beautifully handcrafted keepsakes.
