In addition to numerous National, International, and Regional titles, Sandscapes holds 12 separate World Sand Sculpting Championships titles. Averaging 40 sculptures annually, our sculptors have created hundreds of sculptures of every imaginable subject matter at major venues around the world.
Attention to detail and a "complete finish" is a Sandscapes hallmark. Our sculptures are carved entirely down to the floor creating a finished picture, instead of a sculpture stuck in a pile of sand. In addition, every sculpture is filled with an extraordinary amount of detail, which is achieved by using techniques, and engineering pioneered by Sandscapes.
"Visitors were amazed with each of the 30 sculptures, from the Phillie Phanatic and
Ben Franklin to the Pittsburgh skyline and Philadelphia's own City Hall. The character, authenticity and detail was unbelievable."
~Ed Rendell, Mayor of Philadelphia
"The response from all audiences- Festival-goers, sponsors, media, young and old - all reflect the outstanding
work that you have done during the last two years. The "Boise River Festival Sand Sculpture" has quickly become a tradition that will be a
part of our event for a long time"
~Steven Wood Schmader, President & CEO,
International Festivals and Events Association
Sandscapes is owned and operated by Greg and Brandi Glenn from our office in San Luis Obispo, California. Originally formed in 1991, Sandcapes' humble beginnings emerged from the competitive sand sculpture scene on the beaches of Southern California. It was soon apparent that sand sculpture was more than a mere passion with us. In 1986 we began dabbling in sand sculpture professionally and by 1987 we had quit our original professions and began our present one as full time professional sand sculptors.
Today Sandscapes manages several teams of sculptors located across the country. We understand how important a worry free project is for our clients. Simply put, only the most experienced sculptors become Sandscapes sculptors. This policy has been at the core of Sandscapes since it's inception. Our sculptors are always flexible and cooperative, and completely without the "artist ego" prevalent in many performers.
