Welcome to the G.O.T. Balloons web site. G.O.T. Balloons is an informal Gathering Of Twisters hosted by Stretch the Balloon Dude and Mrs. Stretch. We get together to fellowship, share ideas, twist balloons and just have fun. We have a balloon jam almost every month and anyone interested in twisting balloons is welcome, regardless of their twisting experience. We have balloon artists that have been twisting a few months and others that have been making balloon art for a few decades. Some are hobbyists, while others are full-time balloon twisters. You’ll see balloon dogs, balloon hats, balloon people and any other balloon creation that you can think of. If you would like to be a part just click on the email link at the bottom of the page and let me know. You can learn to twist balloons, share ideas or just hang out and fellowship with fellow twisted balloon artists. If you love balloons this is a gathering of twisted people that you won’t want to miss. Thanks for stopping by and have a twisted day.
