Edith Stijger “When I was young, I hated sand in between my toes, but now I could not live without it. I started sculpting sand through my architecture education at the Technical University. Participating in the sand sculpture festival in Scheveningen started as a hobby, but got out of control very fast. And I have been traveling around the world to build sand, snow and ice sculptures for already over 15 years.”

Wilfred Stijger “I started sculpting sand on the beach of Katwijk, where I was born, after reading a book of Pieter Wiersma. His work impressed me a lot. I got a lot of good reactions from the people passing by and joined the sand-sculpture festival in Scheveningen. There I met Gerry Kirk and he invited me to work with him. Through his network I got invited to festivals and competitions. And since then, I travel around the world to give the people beautiful sculptures in sand snow and ice. One day I hope to organize my own festival.”
