Book Overview

A crenellated turret here, a winding, arched staircase there, maybe even a giant turtle--fantasy is at the heart of every sandcastle. Summer after summer, both children and adults make valiant efforts to infuse their sandy structures with inspiration, but the results are generally disappointing. With Sandcastles Made Simple--now available in an extremely affordable paperback edition--Lucinda Wierenga, a renowned sand sculptor, puts a permanent end to less-than-perfect beach creations. She provides the ultimate step-by-step guide to building impressive sandcastles, and shows that with a few simple tools and a basic understanding of sand, building dream castles can be easy. The book features instructions for each of the elements--base, staircase, roof, balcony, and more--that can be combined to fashion one-of-a-kind castles. Also included are projects designed for young children, guidelines for working with large groups, and tips for sandcastle contests.

This is a great book if you are a budding sand castle enthusiast. It tells you what kind of sands are best, even for a backyard sand box. Detailed and well photographed so you really grasp what they are telling you. Even includes sand creations you can make with children.

detailed tips, photos, and tools

This book is so fun I can't stop reading it. The descriptions of techniques are excellent, and the illustrative photos are even better. I'd say it's the next best thing to taking a live lesson in sand sculpture! It's really going to enrich my weekends this summer. I recommend this book to anyone who is going to be spending any amount of time on any beach in the near future.

This book is everything I had hoped for. The pictures are great, with step-by-step instructions. I had always loved to build sandcastles, but with this book, my "dream" castles are now a reality. All of the keys to achieving it are in this book! Pretty amazing! Thanks SandyFeet for making this available to all of us "budding artists"!
