Get ready to mix, twist, and bake up balloon brilliance with Tisha Tinsman of Little Party Girl and Mary Mardigian of Balloon Studio LA — two of the industry’s most imaginative balloon artists, teaming up for a full day of trend-driven designs, and a sprinkle of friendly competition.
With Tisha Tinsman, you’ll dive into her signature style of whimsical, high-impact crazy towers — complete with fun twisted accents and imaginative structure. She’ll also guide you through helium safety and inflation best practices, including how to create a classic string-of-pearls helium arch that perfectly connects your towers. Expect a dynamic blend of technique and creativity that leaves you with a sellable, on-trend design blueprint.
