Sand sculpture is an activity that creates three-dimensional art pieces using sand as the raw material, through techniques such as stacking and carving. Here is a brief introduction:
1. Material Selection
SandTypically, sand with uniform particles and strong adhesion is chosen for its ease of shaping.
ToolsShovels, carving knives, spray bottles, etc., for stacking and detailing.
2. Manufacturing Steps

CarvingCarve details with tools, such as figures and buildings.
TrimWater-jet reinforcement, repair flaws, ensure integrity of the work.
3. Tips and Precautions
