New Balloon Art: Education

	Classes \| Group & Individual Group class in Switzerland Addi offers balloon hat classes for both groups and individuals, beginners and veterans. He teaches a system of making beautiful balloon hats quickly so you can transform parties, create great photo backdrops, receive bigger tips and generate repeat business. According to Addi, a good balloon hat can be compared to both playing with Legos and a good trumpet solo; that is, once you learn the basic building blocks, it is just a matter of arranging them in an attractive and thoughtful way. GROUP CLASSES usually begin with a slide show of pictures around the world. Afterwards, Addi discusses the basics of balloon twisting and demonstrates several intermediate hats, giving plenty of time for students to “get their hands dirty.” The advanced part of the class covers improvisation with balloons. The goal is that each and every student walks out inspired by the fact that they have acquired a new technical skill to make people happy and earn more income. "the Swirly" in Nashville PRIVATE LESSONS begin with a conversation about where the student is with their balloon work and where they would like to be. Addi then works with the student on developing speed, identifying short cuts and creating unique yet efficient designs. Private lessons are available in the Los Angeles area.

	Praise from Students: *Balloon Hat Workshop Alumni \| Los Angeles* Your visit really energized me. I've spent every night this week re-creating your hats from the pictures, and then working to make something that has my own signature on it. Jenny [another student] just emailed me today and stated how much your hat technique has influenced her work. She's really, really excited about using your ideas. Debrah *Balloon Hat Workshop Alumni \| Los Angeles* I spent a wonderful 2 hrs at a class with Addi Somekh, of The Inflatable Crown. Now I understand why he makes those fancy things. I am going to make them too. I had never seen balloons as an art form, just a media (if you can understand the distinction -- I couldn't at first). Now I have some new techniques to try. I love it.
