Scott Tripp's Workshop Tour in Memphis-
Early Bird Date- September 9, Memphis, TN.
*Other dates so far include Asheville, NC on November 20, and St. Louis on November 22. More to come!*
I am cobbling together a travelling series of workshops on balloons, creativity, and performing. The first stop on the tour is an early date in Memphis, and it will be epic!
Location: Memphis TN
Mid-South Game Center 7990 Trinity Rd #125 Cordova, Tennessee 38018
Full Description: 3 classes- This is a dont miss day.
1pm - 3pm Balloongineering By popular demand! This is the class that I almost didn’t want to teach. And there are no guarantees that I’ll ever teach it again! So miss out at your own peril! I will be sitting down with you, and laying my idea book wide open. Although I will teach some balloon designs, the bulk of this class will investigate where great balloon art comes from. What is creativity? Where do ideas come from? How do you begin to generate your own balloon sculpture ideas? Take a trip with me on my own personal time machine to visit the future of balloon twisting. See the sculptures that other balloon artists will be making before they even invent them! Open discussion is encouraged, and note-taking is a must.
4pm-6pm BalloonCrafting Creative add-ons and embellishments to take your balloon art to the next level. Learn how to use glowsticks, pom pom balls, pipe cleaners, stickers, and other tools to make amazing new works of art! Learn new interactive balloon designs like Hoppers, Weebles, and attachables! The interactive balloon toys and games that you learn will set you apart from everyone else! Do you make balloon animals at restaurants? You will learn sculptures that adults will take away from their kids! Watch the family’s food sit untouched on the table while they play with your new balloon designs!
7pm-9pm BalloonCoaching Transitional balloon twisting. You’ve learned the basic 8 or 12 balloon figures, and now you’re stuck in a rut. How do you go from making dogs and flowers to making life-sized balloon people? It seems that the only balloon twisting instruction available is geared towards beginners or professionals. What about those in between? How do you bridge the gap? This class is designed to walk you from basic balloon twisting to the next level. Although this class is planned for the intermediate (or soon-to-be-intermediate) twister, there will be designs and instructions that will benefit all skill levels. Newbies and seasoned pros alike will be able to learn and grow along the way!
Cost- 3 classes $60.00/ 2 classes $45.00/ 1 class $25.00
(Note- The Balloongineering 1pm class is currently scheduled for the Memphis tour stop only. Other cities will be offered a class on balloon shows and stage performing)
