Pascal is in Bristol next week on Wed 3rd Sept. I did not post earlier as the event has been sold out for 3 months.
Pascal has a very unique and distinctive style and crosses the boundary from balloon entertainer to balloon artiste, I think it will be a very interesting day.

Had a very pleasant day in Bath today, nice lunch and a walk around the city and then the guided tour of Bizarre Bath, a very pleasant evening with a few laughs along the way.
Have a few pictures to post as well when I get back on Thursday.

I took over 200 pictures for the day so it may take a while to load them all up, here we go then. From the Tuesday tour of Bath, we found a balloon shop and all got excited.
Then found the CBA sign, we all smiled.

It was a fantastic day. Quite a different structure to most balloon days.

The level was intermediate to advanced, and lots of new techniques were shared which was fabulous.

Pascal's philosophy is of a real balloon artist and was very inspiring.

There were lots of photos on a screen, explanations and talk with a little hands on.

Thanks to the South West Ballooniversity team, especially Tess for organising the event.

Pascal has been my favourite balloon artist for some time now. I first saw his photos on the forum and I knew how great it would be to learn from him. I love his philosophy and now I have more tools to try so I can challenge myself  within my sculptures.

It was great to see everyone as dazzled by the masterclass as I was. A really high level of twisters came together and I think it is safe to say we all learned something.

I think I have been twisting for about 48 hrs now, I can no longer typ

Pictures from the lecture will be coming up shortly, just giving everyone a feel for the day and the event.
The lovely buffet and I liked the look of the car with the window design all over it.

It was my first ever balloon modelling event even though I have been ballooning for 3 years.

Jaw dropping stuff!
