The Balloon Academy! I am pulling together everything I’ve learned in the past twenty years of twisting balloons together into one ambitious project — an online and live balloon school! The Balloon Academy will teach you balloon art from a variety of seasoned artists, taking you from “what’s a balloon” to making some of the most popular and creative sculptures anywhere.



 

Little Laffs! In September 2013 I started Little Laffs, a variety show for kids. Each month I bring some of my uber-talented friends to the fabulous Jalopy Theatre in Brooklyn for a great show of magic, juggling, balloons, music, and fun. Oh yeah, parents get a Bloody Mary or Mimosa.



 

Free Balloon Classes! Join me every month for a free class on how to twist balloons. This is not your normal boring lecture, but instead it’s a fun hands-on workshop to take you from zero to twisting balloons. We meet the second Tuesday of each month at Fantasma in NYC.  TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED

The NY Twisters is a gathering of New York City balloon twisting friends to share balloon sculptures, swap stories, and help each other grow as artists. We meet every month or two and work on new balloon sculptures.
