How to Sand Cast a Concrete Sculpture. I recently built a large sand pit in order to cast cement and make large concrete sculptures. Although many of my concrete sculptures have been either hand-formed over a metal armature or cast from a form I made, I was anxious to try a new method. The idea of casting in sand is not as new one, but it …

A cement-sand mix (1:1 or 1:2) can be used for the basic cast shape then a cement mix with no aggregate or a very fine admixture (such as stone dust or kaolin) for patching and finishing. [See the mixes page for recent improvements to these mixes.] For casting these medium sized forms, I am using expanded polystyrene insulation.

Choose which leaves according to size and pronounced vein structure. Get the form ready (bowl, ball, mound of sand, flat area) Mix concrete mix to consistency needed (depends on whether pouring or shaping) Apply to leaf or place leaf over concrete making sure for good coverage (tap to rid of bubbles) see video above.

From behind the sander, move it slowly from one side of the surface to other while pushing both handles evenly. Sand in rows until the surface is even. To ensure thorough, even results, sand in a crosshatch pattern. Make rows in one direction across the entire surface, then make rows in the perpendicular direction.

Casting: The mixed concrete is poured into the molds, taking the shape of the desired precast element. Reinforcement, such as steel bars or mesh, may be placed within the mold to provide additional strength to the final product. Curing: Once the concrete is cast, it undergoes a curing process to develop its strength and durability.
