P1110401-001 Sand Sculpture- The Caravan- Caravan Club
this one by Joris Kivits
One of 19 sand sculptures at the Sand Sculpture Festival on the beach at Weston Super Mare, Somerset.
This is the only one that I took, my husband took the rest.
They are only sand and water. In general the sand grains have to be sharp edged, and it is this property that makes Weston sand so suitable for sculpting. This structure makes the sand "click" together when the sand is mixed with plenty of water and compacted into a dense mass. We do this compacting by building pyramids of sand by using wooden frames, which are of course removed before sculpting. There is absolutely no framework inside!
