Tawney Bubbles
is the luckiest person in the whole wide world. At nearly
18, an eager faced young girl graduated from high school
and set out for higher education. Turns out, college is
really really expensive. Reluctantly, she had to get a
job. In a move that was part joke, and part rebellion,
she become a clown (her mom is very proud). Four years,
well maybe five (okay five and a half years) later, she
had her degree. She thought long and hard for nearly ten
minutes about getting a real job and said, “!@#$%
that!”. From then on, Balloon Arts would be her
career. |

Weaving can be improved with repeating practices. In this
class, we will be weaving the entire time after a 15 minute
lecture. "Why I can't get this right." "Why
it's not coming out flat." You will be learning these
"why's" with your fingers, not by reasonings.
Each attendee will choose from two weaving techniques:
X weave or basic weave. I will be assisting in both weaves.
What you need: hand pump, scissors, and learning spirits!

World's Greatest Balloon Artist (Self Proclaimed) |
|
Imagine that you are surrounded by a lot of people while
twisting your balloons. Someone comes up to you, points
to a certain something and says, “Can you make that?”
What do you do? Can you create what you see or are you
stuck with the balloons that you know because you learned
them out of a book? S. Frank Stringham will help you to
see the world in terms of “bubbles.” Then
he will help you to translate that “bubble world”
into balloon sculptures that will amaze and impress the
person who asked for it…causing a bigger tip, a
better repertoire, and abundant gigs. If you can see it,
you can make it!! |
