for face painters and body artists
with Louise Clarke
ONLY £19
Add another twist to your skillset!
This fun, beginner-friendly class is designed especially for face painters and body artists who want to expand their entertainment skills, increase their earning potential and create even more smiles.
We’ll learn the foundations of balloon twisting while creating a collection of quick, colourful, multi-balloon designs that children absolutely love. From classic balloon dogs and flowers to magical wands, cheeky monkeys, character-inspired creations and more, you’ll leave with a fantastic starter repertoire that’s perfect for birthday parties, festivals, family fun days, school events and corporate bookings.
By the end of the class, you’ll have the confidence to start incorporating balloon twisting into your own events, giving your clients even more value and creating unforgettable moments.
During the class we’ll cover:
* Balloon safety and choosing the right equipment
* Basic balloon handling and inflation
* Essential twists and locking techniques
* Balloon sizing and proportions
* Building confidence with multiple-balloon sculptures
* Simple marker techniques to bring your creations to life
* Tips for speed, durability and presentation
* Ideas for adapting designs and developing your own creativity
As face painters and body artists, you already have the artistic eye for colour, balance, proportion and expression. Balloon twisting uses many of those same creative skills – you’ll simply be learning a new artistic medium.
Adding balloon twisting to your services creates an extra “wow” factor for your clients. It allows you to offer more, increase the value of your bookings, entertain children while they wait, and become even more versatile across birthday parties, family fun days, festivals, school events and corporate functions.
The designs we’ll create have been carefully chosen because they’re:
✨ Quick to make
✨ Easy to learn
✨ High impact
✨ Perfect for beginners
✨ Loved by children and adults alike
Whether they’re carried around an event, waved as magical wands, worn as fun accessories, or taken home as treasured keepsakes, these balloon creations become part of the experience and create lasting memories for your clients.
‘You already create smiles with a paintbrush – now let’s add balloons to your toolkit and give your clients an even bigger reason to remember you. I can’t wait to share my passion for balloon twisting with you, help build your confidence, and show you just how fun, rewarding – and slightly addictive – balloon twisting can be!’ Louise Clarke
