sculpting

Yesterday I took advantage of a break in the rain to visit the sand sculptures in progress at Hampton Beach. I try to visit twice, once when the sculptors are midway through their creations and are actively working on the sculptures, and a second time after the work is complete.

I'm fascinated by the level of detail that is possible using sand as the sculpting medium. The sculptures are created using only sand and water.

The sculpting takes place this year on June 20, 21, & 22. I plan to return tomorrow to see the finished sculptures.

Information on the event can be viewed on the Sand Sculpture Event page of the Hampton Beach web site. If you're planning a visit, note that the sculptures will remain on the beach until June 27, 2019.
