  Jen Jolliff will lead kids in an exciting series of sand sculpture workshops. Initially Jolliff will help participants elevate their sand castle building skills to new heights using both additive and reductive sculpting methods. Next she'll teach kids how to create a solid carving block of sand using simple tools. Through daily demonstrations and one on one assistance, Jolliff and her YEP crew will teach students a variety of simple and effective carving techniques and help them branch out into large-scale sculpture of buildings, people and fantastical creatures.
