Happymess Paper Mache Hot Air Balloon Workshop
Craftisan
186 Wells Road, Bristol BS4 2AL
Monday 7 - Friday 11 August, 10-11am
£15 per hot air balloon (so £15 for all five sessions)
Summer holiday messy fun, inspired by the Balloon Fiesta!
Come and join us for the simple but messy process of making a paper mache hot air balloon. Each layer of paper mache has to dry overnight which is why this workshop is spread over five consecutive mornings (you will need to come to a minimum of three sessions to make your balloon, ideally four - but you are welcome to come to all five). You need two or three layers of paper mache, and then a morning to paint and decorate your balloon.
We are asking everyone to leave their finished balloon at Craftisan until after the Balloon Fiesta that weekend, so they can be exhibited in the window - after that they are yours to take home!
Suitable for all ages from 2 years up. 2-5 year olds will need quite close supervision / a bit of help! Older children should be supervised but this can be from a distance (with a cup of coffee!).
There will be one additional activity every morning (such as playdough, hot air balloon colouring in etc).
