Artists & Rates
We have 4 artists to choose from, each with a different range of balloon sculptures and face painting skills to offer.
- The amount of time required depends upon guest numbers and the complexity of designs you would like.
- Prices are an indication of experience and repertoire. If you like, I can help you choose an artist for your event and budget.
Teen Twisters are accompanied on all jobs by an adult, usually my husband or myself. Who will be the contact for the day and driver.
Naturally, all profit from their jobs is entirely theirs.
