On Display at Hebden Bridge Town Hall

By April 1, 2024April 10th, 2024No Comments

At the start of April 2024 Claire, Hannah and Amy set off in the loaded van to the Town Hall in Hebden Bridge. They were going to install a month long exhibition showcasing some of Sand In Your Eyes most prominent projects.

Preparation for the exhibition had started some weeks before, with Amy putting together a rough plan of the number of images and sculptures we would be able to display at the town hall, as well as working out a system to actually hang the art works without them falling after some good advice from the events coordinator Ebony at the town hall.

After a very enthusiastic conversation her at the Sand In Your Eye studio, a short list was drawn up of the projects to be featured and so Amy set about locating and editing the images that would take pride of place in our home towns Town Hall.

During the install it was great to see peoples interest spark as we hung prints of projects we’re so proud to have completed.

"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."

"We had a really great experience working with Sand In Your Eye on our project raising awareness of UK nature loss. 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."

"We were really excited to work with Sand In Your Eye on this important project. 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. The team at Sand In Your Eye are creative, innovative and have a can-do attitude; no project is too big!"

"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."
