This is a progressive class following on from the fundamentals covered in Level One. This is more hands on, working on larger pieces of decor using more techniques and delivering greater impact!
Air Filled Square Pack Designs
Mastering the versatile square pack and duplet square pack techniques will open up a whole range of designs. You’ll learn how to transform the technique from a sturdy balloon base into a wall and learn how to create circle structures from balloons too!
Classic ‘v Organic
Classic and organic decor are very different, and it is crucial that you understand both sets of techniques, how they differ and how to correctly price both. In this class you’ll learn a range of designs which cover all this and more, leaving you feeling confident in creating both classic and organic decor.
