A sand sculpture is, as it were, a mature sand castle, dating from the time of the Egyptians. We know better than anyone how much fun it used to be to build a fantastically large castle.
During the sand sculpture workshop you will go back to the old times and make unique creations using sand and water.
A sand sculpture is made with wet sand, so that it is ideally suited to withstand the wind and other weather influences.
By tamping sand, also called “compacting”, you ensure that the sand can harden and cannot move in any direction.
The necessary toolbox for an experienced sand artist consists of a handful of materials. For example, you need a plant sprayer, brush, shovel and special knife to make a beautiful sand sculpture.

You will be welcomed on the beach of Scheveningen or at another location. On request this could possibly be during the lunch or drink which you (possibly) have pre-booked. Accompanied by a sand artist, you will be given a tour through time, where he will tell you everything about the origin of sand sculptures.
He then goes into more detail about the workshop and two teams are created that will compete against each other. The sand artist explains in detail how making sand sculptures looks like and what materials you need. Then it is your turn to get started. A subject is chosen and based on that it is up to you what will be made.
Making sand sculptures takes about an hour and a half, after which the jury needs time to assess and admire the works of art. Then a jury verdict follows and it is known which team has made the most beautiful sand sculpture.
Sand sculptures are beautiful creations that are at least as beautiful as statues and other forms of art.

Maybe making sand sculptures is your hidden talent. Being creative in the open air, it sounds wonderful. How nice is it that you get a professional course by an experienced sand artist, who knows exactly how to set up the most beautiful creations.
If you've ever seen someone make sand sculptures and thought to yourself “I want to learn that too”, now is your chance. In Scheveningen you can follow a workshop to make your own sand sculptures. You do this course in a group and you can sign up with a minimum of eight people at the same time. The more the merrier! The group is then divided into smaller teams to create a competition effect.
The sand sculpture workshop is a unique and original activity that is extremely suitable as a company outing. This is because a lot is asked of cooperation and mutual communication. You also get to know the underlying qualities of your colleagues. How nice is that!
What is sand sculpture
Sand sculptures are works of art created by molding sand using various tools. These works of art are often created on beaches, but they can also be created in other locations, such as parks or fairs.
Sand sculptures can be very diverse, from small, simple shapes to large, more complex sculptures. Some artists make sand sculptures of animals, people, buildings or abstract shapes. Others create realistic depictions of famous figures or historical events.
Making a sand sculpture is a time consuming process that requires a lot of patience and precision. The artist starts by choosing the right sand and removing any impurities. The sand is then moistened and pressed into the desired shape. Some artists use molds or molds to shape the sand, while others shape the sand entirely by hand.
Once completed, sand sculptures are often impressive works of art that garner much admiration from the public. Unfortunately, they are temporary, as they will eventually disappear when exposed to the elements. Yet they remain a popular form of art that is appreciated and admired by many people.
