Interactive sand sculpture, Hull

Hull is the place to be this year, as it is the City of Culture for 2017. Lots of exciting new things happening in the city, so we were really glad to get the opportunity to visit.

Princes Quay Shopping Centre in Hull were opening a new floor dedicated to outlet shopping, they invited us to be part of their opening events where we would make 6 sand sculptures for the public to enjoy. There was also an interactive sand area where the public could try their hand at sand sculpture too.

We set a couple of the sand sculptures up in shop windows so while we were carving, it would create a live window display. The rest of the sculptures would be made in the main shopping mall. The shopping centre then asked if it was possible to move all the sculptures into shop windows after the event so they could keep them all summer. It is indeed possible to move certain sand sculptures after they have been made, so in a few weeks time once dried, the sculptures will then be displayed in various shop windows.

Day 2 Claire headed to another shop window to create a sand sculpture of a gift bag and Tom created an abstract stack of gift boxes in the mall.

By day 3 and 4 Claire worked solo to create an old fashioned till. Having two days to create the sand sculpture meant she could spend lots of time on the details.

"It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with Sand In Your Eye over the last two years. Together we’ve created a 60 metre sand portrait , a giant tennis ball mosaic at Wimbledon and a huge mud toilet sculpture at Glastonbury, all of which have helped us secure high quality media coverage for our campaigns. Working to the highest ethical and environmental standards, Sand In Your Eye go above and beyond to problem-solve and create unique activations that help WaterAid to reach new audiences. I look forward to more collaborations in future."

"It was a pleasure to work with the skilful team at Sand In Your Eye.

"We were delighted with the outcome of our climate-themed Coal and Ice event at Woodhorn Museum. The Ice Trail looked stunning, with visitors really connecting with the poignancy of seeing beautifully carved endangered animals slowly begin to melt away. Throughout the project, the Sand in Your Eye team were enthusiastic, professional, collaborative and full of brilliant creative ideas. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Sand in Your Eye again and would highly recommend them to others."

"I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the sand sculpting workshop. Jamie and Peter were fantastic, the whole activity played well to our audience (a high proportion with an engineering background!) – there was also lots of interest from the public in the activity."
