Anamorphic sand drawing portrait of Franz Schubert

Anamorphic sand drawing portrait of Franz Schubert

This morning Claire Jamieson and Tom Bolland put together a wonderful anamorphic sand drawing with a little help from me with the odd direction. It was a portrait of composer Franz Peter Schubert and there to help promote the East Neuk Festival that is enjoying its tenth anniversary this year celebrating classical music and Jazz.  And it has done well appearing in the Herald, The Guardian, BBC Music Magazine, Daily Record, Scotsman, Express and the Courier as well as featuring on Classic FM.

But now Schubert has sadly washed away and we are driving home with satisfied smiles on our faces.  Elie Beach is by the way a most remarkable beach with wonderful golden sand and rocks covered in the most vivid green seaweed.  We are blessed that this was our workshop for today.

Not only this but they are also reliable and dedicated, and we look forward to working with them again in the future."

"It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with Sand In Your Eye over the last two years. Together we’ve created a 60 metre sand portrait , a giant tennis ball mosaic at Wimbledon and a huge mud toilet sculpture at Glastonbury, all of which have helped us secure high quality media coverage for our campaigns. Working to the highest ethical and environmental standards, Sand In Your Eye go above and beyond to problem-solve and create unique activations that help WaterAid to reach new audiences. I look forward to more collaborations in future."

"It was a pleasure to work with the skilful team at Sand In Your Eye. From having initial idea discussions to working up designs, creating the land art and producing top quality film and imagery afterwards.

"We were delighted with the outcome of our climate-themed Coal and Ice event at Woodhorn Museum. The Ice Trail looked stunning, with visitors really connecting with the poignancy of seeing beautifully carved endangered animals slowly begin to melt away. Throughout the project, the Sand in Your Eye team were enthusiastic, professional, collaborative and full of brilliant creative ideas. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Sand in Your Eye again and would highly recommend them to others."

"I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the sand sculpting workshop. Jamie and Peter were fantastic, the whole activity played well to our audience (a high proportion with an engineering background!) – there was also lots of interest from the public in the activity."
