The history of the World Championship.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF SAND SCULPTING FEDERAL WAY, WA. SEPT 8th - OCT 3rd 2010
Formerly at Harrison Hot Springs for almost two decades, The World Championship of Sand Sculpting is relocating to Federal Way,
Washington in September of 2010. Whether you are an avid fan or just want to learn more about this ancient art form, this is the sand
sculpture event you will want to see! Master sand sculptors from across the globe will be gathering to compete as solo artists, doubles
and teams for the grand prize of World Master Sand Sculptor in each category. Each will breathe their talent and culture into a pile
of sand, transforming it into a work of intricate, temporary art. You´ll see a competition where the contestants must have the physical
ability of an athlete and the precision of a surgeon. Each, regardless of category, must load the sand by shovel into forms, wet
it, compact the sand, and carve it to completion within a set time frame. The results are as varied as the sand sculptors. You may
see a sand castle, a world leader, architecture, or something from a cartoon. . . each carved to great detail in sand, one of the
most difficult mediums. Each sculpture is only sand, water and compaction. We proudly present both previous World Champion sand sculptures
in our photo galleries as well as the World Master Sand Sculptors who will be attending this event. Whether you have viewed sand sculptures
before or are new to the experience of this family-fun event, we have a word of advice; be prepared to be wowed!
FAQ: What holds it all together? The sculptures are made from sand and water. Tiny bridges of water form between each grain.
The less eroded the sand, the greater the contact area between each grain thus creating a stronger bond.... READ MORE
