What's a Wonderscape?
A handmade wooden tray, fine crystalline sand, and sculptural concrete forms. Pick up a form and feel its cool weight, then roll it and trace a path through the sand that no one else will make quite the same way. When you are ready, smooth the sand and start again: a small pause for wonder and play in an ordinary day.

Ways to Start With Wonderscapes
Andrew and Sarah Lonnquist in the Portland studio
Since 2008
How Andrew Lonnquist Invented the Wonderscape
Andrew Lonnquist is a sculptor, designer, maker, and inventor. In the studio one day, a sculptural form fell into sand and left an impression. It suggested a form a person could roll.
Andrew created the first Wonderscape in 2008 from that discovery. Sarah Lonnquist joined in 2014. Today Andrew and Sarah co-own Olander Earthworks and lead a small team of artisans in Portland, Oregon.
Olander is where Wonderscapes and concrete Sand Spheres began.
Come Play in the Sand
Find Olander at Portland Saturday Market
Direct contact with the people who play with these pieces is a big part of the studio's history. Olander still attends community events and hosts studio events.

How Olander Wonderscapes are Made
Small batches, one Portland studio, and a lot of hands.
Carve the original
Andrew maps each pattern and hand-carves the original in a softer material.
Make the mold
The studio makes a mold that preserves the original's surface and shape.
Cast in concrete, finish by hand
Forms are cast in concrete in small batches, then checked and finished by hand.
Tray and assembly
A local partner cuts the tray parts. The studio routes, sands, and finishes them, then pairs tray, sand, and forms.
Perfectly imperfect. Small surface and color variations come from the material and hand finishing, so each piece carries its own character.
