Back by Popular Demand: Silhouette Portraits by Erik Johnson!

We’re excited to announce that silhouette artist Erik Johnson is returning to Torly Kid for another portrait event.  The third-generation artist will be in our store on Sunday, March 4 from 11 am to 4 pm. The silhouettes are done on the spot and copies can be made for an additional cost. (They make great gifts for grandmas! Mother’s Day is May 13th.)

In the age of  iPhone apps and Photoshop, there’s virtually no limit to what we can do with digital images, which is what makes the silhouette portraiture (a technology-free craft) a particularly special experience.  Your children may be unimpressed by your iPhone’s magical capabilities, but as frequent scissor users themselves,  they’ll be fascinated to watch Erik use nothing but his tiny shears and an observant eye to cut out each unique likeness from paper.

We predict this one will sell out, so book your appointment ASAP!

Cost: $25 per child (not including optional framing)

Duplicates of the same portrait: $15
