Giant Bubbles
What to bring
-
one large towel.
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 5 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.
