We moved the earth with Balloons!

Our latest project was to create a parade float to celebrate 100 Years for our client. The brief was that it had to be between 12 and 14 feet high, be able to be pushed in a parade, be very visual and of course be a Balloon Sculpture.

The parade was to to take place in London and our studio is in North Wales so our first challenge was that the sculpture and the base to move it had to be modular. The whole sculpture broke down into sections but still needed a 14 tonne truck to move it to London due to it’s bulk.

Below are some of pictures of the finished balloon sculpture
