As the construction of WONDER progresses, interest in the project is growing. There have been visits from Towerbank Primary School, the Royal Mile Primary School, Donaldson's School for the Deaf and even a group of school children from Northern Ireland. Community participation in the creation of the work has been a key feature of this year's project with hundreds of people of all ages turning up to fill sandbags and play on them! This has proved to be a bit of a double-edged sword, as children who have helped fill the sandbags have also been playing on the pyramids and sometimes damaging the artist's work. Unfortunately, there has also been a fair amount of late-night vandalism to the pyramids and the police have had to be called on several occasions. To allow Jephson to complete the work on time, fencing has been erected around the artwork to minimise any damage or vandalism before the launch date.

Join us on the beach for the opening: from 6pm Thursday 21^st June.
