Balloon Twisting Masterclass | France

Take your balloon twisting skills further with an intensive two-day masterclass led by internationally recognised balloon artist, trainer and performer Antonio Bécares Rodríguez at Sempertex France in Hoerdt.

With more than 25 years of experience in balloon modelling, Antonio has become one of the leading international references in balloon twisting, known for his innovative creations, techniques and distinctive approach to the art.

Across two days of practical training, you’ll strengthen your existing foundations, refine your technique and explore more advanced balloon twisting methods through a combination of demonstrations, hands-on exercises and personalised guidance.

Antonio will share the working methods, creative ideas, practical advice and techniques he has developed throughout his career, including his renowned Pinch Line technique.

Rather than simply learning a collection of finished designs, you’ll gain insight into Antonio’s approach to construction and creativity, helping you develop techniques that can be applied and adapted within your own balloon work.

The training is delivered in a small-group format, allowing more opportunity for individual guidance, questions and advice tailored to your current level and experience.

Whether you’re looking to improve your technical balloon twisting skills, discover new construction methods or learn directly from one of the industry’s most experienced international artists, this two-day masterclass offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in the art of professional balloon modelling.
