Wonderscapes for Your Practice: A tactile tool for thoughtful practices

Some therapists keep Olander forms in their sand tray rooms. Wonderscapes are tactile art objects, not a clinical therapy system: a wooden tray, fine sand, and concrete forms to roll or press.

  • Sizes from 7 to 20 inches
  • Rinse forms with water
  • Made by hand in Portland

Designed for Professional Spaces.

Some people find the experience calming or grounding. Individual experiences differ.

  • Therapists and counselors

    A tactile object for offices and client spaces.

  • Wellness practitioners

    A beautiful addition to wellness environments.

  • Creative practices

    An invitation to explore pattern, movement, and play.

Sized for the Room You Have.

Start with the surface it will sit on. Every tray is also sold on its own.

Why Practitioners Choose Wonderscapes.

From a creative practice

“I’m a ceramist and use these for decorating my clay pieces!! Amazing effects!”

The details

Sand

The amount of sand depends on the tray. Check the product details, and fill no higher than the tray's inner lip.

Cleaning

Scrub forms gently under running water with a sponge or nylon brush; no cleaners are needed. Let them dry fully, and don't leave them under water for long.

Durability

The forms are concrete, cast from Andrew's hand-carved originals and finished by hand. Knocking them together or scraping them can chip the surface, so roll gently.

Setup

Pour in the sand, swirl and jiggle the tray to smooth it, and set out a few forms. A wool slider or wood glider under the tray protects the table.

Is a Wonderscape a therapy tool?

No. Wonderscapes are tactile art objects, not a clinical therapy system. A trained professional decides how any tool is used in their practice. The sand tray therapy guide explains the difference.
