How Ti casts ripples…

Ingredients: plaster, water, some frames, a couple of buckets and a beach!

Pick a part of the beach with ripples you like and place the frames securely on the sand

Mix plaster and water and pour into the frames…

...then pose proudly and admire your work

You’ll need to wait for the plaster to dry, providing a perfect time to explore the beach, have a picnic or enjoy a game of frisbee…

… or there’s always afternoon tea and scones at Poppit Café.

Here are some of my sand-casts drying at Poppit Sands, Summer 2006.

These have now been oak framed and can be uplit by tea-lights.

Finally, if you wish to make your own sand casts please remember to:

- Have fun!

- Let me know how you get on

- look after the beach

- take your litter home along with any stray pieces of dried plaster

If you’d like more information on sand casting or to join me on a day casting in West Wales please email me to arrange a booking.

I recommend this exellent local accomodation with great views of Poppit Sands beach and Cardigan Island

I also do commissions, please email for further details.

looking forward to hearing from you
