It’s OFFICIAL! 🎈 Balloon Foundations is here!
After years of creating balloon décor, training alongside some incredible professionals in the balloon industry, working on large-scale builds, and helping create installations for everything from corporate events to weddings and celebrations — I’m bringing that experience into the classroom.
Introducing:
✨ Balloon Foundations with Designs by Essence
A Hands-On Beginner Balloon Workshop
This class was created for aspiring balloon professionals, newer decorators, and creatives who are ready to move beyond watching tutorials and start learning the techniques behind professional balloon décor.
And we are going to BUILD. 🙌🏾
You'll learn:
• Balloon sizing, inflation & basic techniques
• Classic balloon column construction
• Classic balloon arch techniques
• Quick Link wall fundamentals
• Adding organic accents to classic décor
• Understanding your job costs
Every student will also build their own classic balloon column from start to finish and leave with a take-home practice kit so the learning doesn't stop when class ends.
