Face Painting Workshop

The Face Painting for Outreach workshops are offered in two formats: a one day Saturday workshop starting at 10:00am till 3:10pm and a three day format during the Sunday school hour or mid-week Bible study hour. No matter how long the usual duration of class time, I would need 1½ hours each session. Students will learn:

  • What products are USDA approved.

  • The essentials of face painting for outreach.

  • Proper use of brushes and sponges.

  • Techniques to speed your designs.

  • Sharing the gospel with children, teens and adults.

Instruction makes use of lecture, demonstration, drill, repetition and hands-on exercises. Because GrinZone Face Painting is investing resources devoted to Kingdom work, there are some expectations:

  1. Students must make a commitment to attend the entire workshop.

  2. Be on time for the start of the workshop/s. (10-15 minutes early is on time)

  3. Recommend students purchase a practice kit ($15.00 for the practice kit, find your own brushes). The practice kit is NOT needed for the workshop.

  4. Engage in face painting every time there is an opportunity.

Balloon Twisting Workshop

The balloon twisting workshop is mostly a hands-on course of instruction. But some of the workshop time will be devoted to the balloon twisting knowledge base. Still, the greatest part of it will be about practicing twisting one design after another. We teach 12 simple designs, so your balloon twisting team can be up to speed in 2 or 3 hour-long worship sessions. Here’s what you will learn in a workshop:

  • Equipment and Supplies You will Need

  • The Outreach Component of Balloon Twisting

  • Balloon Twisting Vocabulary

  • Best Strategies (Static vs Mobil and Solo vs Team)

  • Balloon Twisting Skills

Feather Hair Extension Workshop

Overnight, feather hair extensions became a fashion trend. Though the peak of this fad has long passed, feather hair extensions are now available in all colors and can be inexpensively purchased from Alibaba.com or AliExpress.com. This is the same company serving two different clients. Alibaba is most useful to retailers buying larger quantities. AliExpress is most useful to the individual customer buying smaller quantities for their self or family. Either can supply your church ministry. You should be able to find a vendor who can supply them for about 10 cents each, purchased in bulk. NOTE: Use only artificial feather hair extensions.

I understand the apprehension of making purchases from China; will your credit card be secure, is the product made by children or prisoners under inhuman conditions, is there an unfair competition with workers in other parts of the world? I don’t know the answer to those questions. But I do know that you are unlikely to find feather hair extensions made in any other country. While you can order them from Amazon, the prices are much higher and I am fairly certain they are still manufactured in China.

Installing Feather Hair Extensions is not rocket science and can be learned in about 5 minutes. For this reason, a Feather Hair Extension Workshop would only be conducted as an add-on to a Face Painting Workshop or a Balloon Twisting Workshop. We do ask you to download, print and distribute our instruction sheet titled Using Feather Hair Extensions in Ministry to interested participants.

Prayer Booth

We don't actually offer a workshop for the most essential ministry booth coupled with your other booths. The reason is simple: your pastor can do it, and likely has taught and preached on prayer many times in your church. A good book on the subject is Street Level Prayer available from Amazon. In addition, we are developing a downloadable curriculum called Affecting Hearts by Prayer that you will be able to find right here, in the future. Sorry, it's just not available yet.
