Sand Art
from $89.95

Sand Art, created by Austrian kinetic sand artist Klaus Bosch, are interactive, ever-changing, mesmerizing, and versatile handcrafted art pieces. Turn the sand picture over to watch the battle of the elements: The sand just wants to settle at the bottom, the air just wants to escape to the top, and the water hosts the party.

The result is the sand trickles between the air bubbles to create fascinating stratifications in the sand mountains that are never the same. Mesmerizing to people of all ages and endlessly relaxing, moving sand art pictures are a fascinating and unique addition to your home or office.
