Good questions

How big can a balloon sculpture be?

Shelley was part of Team Durian, which built a sixteen foot balloon durian for the Marina Square Balloon Festival in Singapore.

Can you make a balloon caricature of a real person?

Yes. Shelley made a giant Greg Davies caricature and a wearable Greg Davies mask for Channel 4's Taskmaster.

Do you make balloon costumes?

Yes. Wearable balloon costumes and pieces for shoots, shows and events.

How long does a balloon sculpture last?

It depends on the balloons, the venue and the temperature. Indoors, most pieces last the whole event.

Has Shelley won awards?

Yes. Prestige Awards Balloon Artist of the Year for the South of England 2025/26 and 2026/27, and the 2026 Iron Man competition at the British Balloon Bash.
