Sand art is a form of art that involves creating artistic designs by pouring colored sand into a glass container.

It is a type of sidewalk art that has become very popular in Damascus in recent years.

Tools and Materials:

The tools are simple: a table, glass containers, fine sand, and drawing sticks.

The art mainly uses natural sand from deserts and mountains, known as "Mazaar sand," a plant-based sand that requires special treatment.

Process:

Due to its rough texture, the artisan first smooths the sand, then colors it by mixing it with pigments to produce seven main colors: red, yellow, indigo, light blue, orange, brown, and black.

After coloring, the sand is sieved because it becomes slightly coarse. Sand art is usually done on glass or crystal containers, creating beautiful and precise designs.
