Instead\, you’ll learn how multiple balloon elements\, structures and decorative details can be brought together to create complete professional seasonal scenes suitable for photo settings\, shopping centres\, parties\, events and commercial installations. \nThroughout the masterclass\, Alberto will take you through three major autumn and winter themes — Halloween\, Autumn and Winter/Christmas — combining live demonstrations\, collaborative group builds and individual hands-on work. \nYou’ll work together to construct the foundations and larger structures within each scene\, including atmospheric walls\, backdrops and a cosy winter fireplace. You’ll then work individually and in smaller groups to create the detailed balloon elements that bring each installation to life. \nFor Halloween\, you’ll explore characterful elements including voodoo dolls\, black cats\, ghosts\, pumpkins and atmospheric lanterns. The Autumn scene introduces a rustic stone wall perfect for a photo setting\, alongside scarecrows\, winding leafy vines and pumpkin arrangements. For Winter\, you’ll help create a cosy fireplace scene complete with simulated fire\, an animal head wall feature\, Christmas stars and classic wall lamps. \nAt the end of the day\, the individual elements and larger structures will be brought together to create complete\, professional seasonal photo scenes\, giving you the opportunity to capture beautiful images for your own portfolio and social media. \nWith limited places to allow participants sufficient personal guidance\, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn directly from Alberto Falcone while celebrating 15 years of Sempertex Europe. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n🎈 Creating complete seasonal balloon scenes rather than standalone balloon elements\n🎃 Building professional Halloween balloon installations\n👻 Creating Halloween details including voodoo dolls\, black cats\, ghosts\, pumpkins and lanterns\n🍂 Designing atmospheric Autumn balloon scenes\n🧱 Creating a rustic stone-effect wall suitable for photo settings\n🌿 Making scarecrows\, winding leafy vines and pumpkin arrangements\n🎄 Creating professional Winter and Christmas balloon scenes\n🔥 Building a cosy winter fireplace with simulated fire\n⭐ Creating Christmas stars\, wall features and decorative seasonal details\n🏗️ Constructing larger balloon structures and scene foundations collaboratively\n🙌 Developing detailed elements through individual and small-group hands-on work\n📸 Bringing individual elements together to create complete professional photo settings\n💼 Adapting seasonal concepts for shopping centres\, parties\, events and commercial projects \nYour investment includes: \n\nHands-on seasonal balloon masterclass with Alberto Falcone\nGroup construction of larger seasonal scenes and structures\nIndividual and small-group practical assignments\nLive demonstrations throughout the workshop\nAll materials required for the masterclass\nLunch included\nCoffee and tea throughout the day\nOpportunity to photograph the completed seasonal scenes\nPlenty of inspiration ahead of the autumn and Christmas peak season\n\nThis workshop is suitable for balloon artists with basic balloon knowledge who want to develop their skills further and explore how individual balloon techniques can be combined into larger\, complete concepts. \nThe masterclass will be delivered in English. \nPlaces are limited to ensure every participant has sufficient opportunity for hands-on work and personal guidance throughout the day. \n📅 Date: Sunday 20th September 2026\n📍 Location: Volkel\, Netherlands\n👨‍🏫 Trainer: Alberto Falcone\n🎈 Event: Sempertex Europe 15 Year Celebration Tour\n🗣️ Spoken Language: English\n💶 Investment: €75 Excl.
