Bubbles are fun, engaging and spectacular! As a professional bubbler you need to have the knowledge that will enable to produce great bubbles under most weather conditions and indoor venues in a safe manner.
In the last 3 years I have clocked up over 2,000 bubble hours, performed at many bubble parties, outdoor events and broken a world record. In that time I've overcome many challenges through trial and error as well as research. I have also handmade and tested many bubble nets including the world's largest bubble net in 2021. The nets will also be on sale on at the convention.
In this class you will have the advantage of starting out with the knowledge and practical skill to get you started on a wonderful journey. Whether it’s an addition to other entertainer skills or solo, bubbling gives your business additional income and a point of difference.

Balloon Template for Various Designs
Prerequisite - basic balloon twisting skills
What to bring - A hand held balloon pump - Balloons are supplied for the class.
There are soooooo many designs so how so we remember them all??? In this class we will create a template to make it so much easier. Remember the template and the rest will flow. Create animals and characters suitable for line work or parties.
After a creating number of designs using "The Template", students will work in pairs and to create their own animal using the concept.
One Stroke Face Painting - Fast & Furious designs
What to bring - Small Face Painting kit including split cakes & chisel brushes
When you think the line is never going to end!
Don’t be caught out!!! Techniques to get you through those massive lines and still have the wow factor.
Using Split Cakes – Pretty colours - Princess, Fairies, Butterflies & necklaces
One stroke techniques – Creating 3d Effect, Flowers, Bamboo, Ribbon, Snakes Crocodiles & Dolphins
There is a clear difference in using split cakes to create a pretty pattern and applying one stroke techniques. While both involve loading multiple colours on a chisel brush and or sponge, one stroke specifically involves using a chisel brush. In one stroke, loading specific colours on a chisel brush means that blending, highlight and shadow can all be applied at the same time. The result is instant depth, instant 3d. Instant WOW!
One stroke painting is a fast technique and when mastered, allows you to create flowers and animals within seconds or face painting in just a few minutes. One stroke painting is all about delivering quality and speed with ease. It’s a technique that I often use to get myself out of trouble when I am suddenly presented with a huge line or need to end a long line quickly!
In this class you will start with basic techniques on how load your sponge and or chisel brush to create fast designs. Strategies and resources for creating your own designs will also be discussed. Designs for this class are for the face, neck and arm.
By the end of the class (using split cake and one stroke techniques) you will be able to Face Paint the following designs:
Eye, butterfly, princess, necklaces, Christmas decorations as well as leaves, flowers, bamboo, ribbons, snakes, crocodiles and dolphins etc.
