Sand Sculpture in Ghana
Sand Sculpture is the practice of modelling sand into an artistic form. The are two basic building ingredients, sand and water. Tidal beaches generally have sand that limits height and structure because of the shape of the sand grains. Good sand is somewhat dirty, having silt and clay that helps lock the irregular shaped sand grains together. Sand castles are typically made by children, simply for the fun of it, but there are also sand sculpture contests for adults that involve large, complex constructions.



In Ghana some artists choose to bring out their creativity on our local beaches, by modelling interesting and artistic figures based on current social issues of the day. In their small way, creating the appreciation of Sand Sculpture in Ghana.
