Mall Ideas

The sand is brought into the mall then dumped into a watertight box and gets packed into a big solid block of sand in a process we call the poundup. This process happens overnight when the mall is closed to the public. The carving process can then commence and, depending on the size, take days or weeks to complete. The patrons can watch the process and check back at intervals thus freeing them to enjoy the shopping and food your mall has to offer. The sculptors work through most open hours of the mall in a quiet and professional manner. We have been told the sand sculpture is the best entertainment they have ever seen at the mall.

* Note: it is equivalent in size, but the sand is packed over foam blocks because of floor loading issues – it looks like the equivalent but is considerably less sand.
