Our annual beach sculpture festival continued its journey to Aberavon beach / Aberafan Traeth.

A happy day for everyone making sculptures at the beach.

 

The beach was a blank canvas for creativity and further materials. It was a chance for us to work bigger and more elaborately with a large range of marine creatures like this turtle.

 

'Exciting opportunities for children'

 

Careful precision and patience to create a lovely octopus sculpture.

 

A family thing! Creating a shark was fun to do!

 

The team of makers, after collecting and organising the rich and varied materials discovered on Aberavon beach to create magical sculptures.

A beautiful dolphin sculpture is made from the golden sands.

 

Children began by drawing the outline of a marine animal they wanted to create such as this starfish sculpture which boosted their decision making and spontaneous creative activity then sprang into action!

 

 

Full view of the spectacular sea monster. Ready to swim away with the high tide!

'Fantastic activity - engaging workshop leaders and very informative. Thank you!'

 

 

A fantastic hermit Crab was made by this young girl on the beach.

 

'Very engaging and great for well-being!'

 

 

'Very well organised eventwith friendly artists. Kids loved it as it was very informative about marine animals. Fantastic free event!'

Nothing short of perfection will do for this hammer head shark.

'The whole family bounced ideas off each other and worked together as a team!'

Creating a Ray, learning about the amazing texture and form of this incredible creature.

Listening to the sound of the sea in a shell is something everyone should do, whether young or old!

Thank you to everyone for making our annual sculpture festival such a success once again.
