balloon artists

Latex figure makers

Balloon artists are entertainers who twist and shape balloons into animals, flowers, hats, and other figures.

They typically work at children's parties, fairs, and restaurants, creating quick sculptures from long thin balloons.

The term sounds more dignified than "balloon twister," which describes the same skill: We hired a balloon artist for the birthday party.
