This weekend’s Oktoberfest at Washington Park offers live music at one end of the festival, sand sculpting lessons at the other end and vendors in between.
The sand sculpting lessons are an echo of the city’s inaugural Singing Sands Sand Sculpting Festival three months ago.
Professional sculptor Janet Moore Schrader, owner of Sand Pirate in Lakeside, Michigan, talked about her lessons while working on a dragon she named Doug on Saturday.
Normally she charges $300 for a two-hour lesson, she said, but the city paid her to offer free lessons at the festival.
“I’ve been teaching sand sculpting for about 17 years," Schrader said, mostly between Warren Dunes in Southwest Michigan and Indiana Dunes.
Prior to COVID-19, that was her full-time job. “I teach multi-generations how to play together,” she said.
