15 Extraordinary Sand Sculptures

In recent years many artists have formed companies specifically geared towards creating sand sculptures. These companies have found a niche market with corporate and private clients looking to promote a business or product or simply to wow their guests at a special event. While most of these businesses operate part time, there a few that operate as full time businesses, such as 'Fitzy Snowman Sculpting', 'Team Sandtastic', and 'Sand Scapes' in the USA, and 'Sandinyoureye' in the UK, and Sandology in Australia

In July 2009 Dirtybeach.tv made sofas out of sand for the T4 on the beach festival in Weston Super-Mare. These were used as a set to conduct various interviews with celebrities.

Corporate team building has been a growing part of the business of these groups. The aforementioned 'Team Sandtastic' derives 40% of their business from these hands-on activities.
