Freehand Silhouette Portrait Making at the Colony House Holiday Market
Saturday, November 22, 2025
The Colony House | Washington Square, Newport
10am to 2pm | Special Event
Experience the elegant artistry of silhouette portraiture with Deborah O’Connor, known as The Silhouette Lady. Using only scissors and paper, Deborah cuts each likeness freehand, capturing remarkable detail and personality in just minutes—no sketches, no tracing, just the trained eye and steady hand of a master craftsperson.
Before photography, silhouettes were a cherished and accessible way to preserve a memory or capture a loved one’s likeness. Today, these portraits make meaningful, timeless keepsakes and holiday gifts, especially for those who appreciate history, art, and tradition.
A perfect experience for families, couples, and anyone who loves the charm of the past.
**Each portrait session lasts approximately 5 minutes.
Finished silhouettes are yours to keep.
Add-ons (copies, frames, etc.) are available for purchase.**
