Balloon Sculpting?

Postby Magic_Drummer » Dec 3rd, '06, 21:50



I'm just getting into balloon sculpting because there has been alot of opportunities where I live for sculptures...The national buskers fextival is in my town every year and I know people who make up to $15000 in one weekend busking...Anyway I would like some good references preferably from people who sculpt already...

I think I will buy Balloon school because I heard it is really good for teaching beginner to advanced balloon sculpting...Also I was wondering , If I were to set up a boot say it costs $100 for the weekend...How much should I be charging per balloon if I wasn't getting payed by the actual company just to walk around and do balloon sculpting? I was thinking $3 for a beginner sculpture and $5-$8 for an advanced one such as a Tiger or multiple balloon sculptures....There could be too low I don't really know...So any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

I think I'd also like to know about this as it seems quite fun :D Tony had a post with the balloon man in off topic.

my brother is quite good at this. He got a starter set off ebay which included balloons, pump and quite a good book for not very much at all. Once he got started, he just got creative and made all sorts off the top of his head.
