Inflatable latex clothing, masks, furniture, bags and more!

Make your own inflatable latex clothing, masks, shoes, boots, bags, cushion panels and much more!

This is a technical workshop for anyone who wants to get the most out of latex.

In this workshop, we show you in 34 videos (!!) how to make inflatable latex clothing, such as skirts, briefs, and boots.

But also inflatable masks and horns, and 3D objects and bags without air, so you can bring your wildest ideas to life - from small projects to gigantic objects! And of course, lots of tips & tricks!

Real skills, real effort, real results! 

Please note... this is really not an easy latex workshop! It's technical, so lots of calculating and drawing, so focus, focus, and focus.

But this workshop also includes ready-made patterns and documents that you can download.

And once you understand how to make super cool inflatable and 3D objects from flat latex.... The sky is the limit!
