After a long couple of weeks making sculptures in the freezer, myself and Claire were really excited to join in Mytholmroyd’s Christmas light switch on with our chainsaws!

Live ice carving is a real spectacle with lots of noise and snow spraying everywhere! The children wrote their letters to Santa as we carved away to create an ice post box.

As the sun set, we finished carving and the children posted their letters ready to go to the North Pole.

"From carved pumpkins depicting beheaded Tudor royals to a realistic but giant castle sand sculpture, the Sand In Your Eye team have been brilliant at making our outlandish dreams a reality. Every request and idea is met with an open mind and they are buzzing with artistic ideas – we love working with the team because it feels like a partnership to create something special. 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 whole process from start to finish and would thoroughly recommend."

"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."

They were consistently friendly, professional and able to give us valuable advice where needed, and we were so impressed with the quality and detail of the final sand drawing, drone footage and final video."

The attention to detail and the tutorial videos we received to help our children put together the paper bees were just fabulous. The engagement in the project from all year groups was lovely to see.

"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."
