What do you do if your region has no sand?  There's not one tile of sand on my current map, so I can't make glass.  This means I can't make an alchemist or process plants to vials.  It also causes problems whenever I get a fey mood dwarf who wants "rough colour".

I can't seem to trade for glass or sand, and I don't see any other way to make glass.

Are there any alternatives?

To the best of my knowledge, at this point in time you either have sand (and, by extension, glass) or you don't.  You can't "create" sand, and iirc you can;t buy glass.

Edit the raws to make a layer of soil usable as sand.

In some regions, you can reveal sand by having dwarves walk repeatedly over an area.

"Dry grass" seems to do this a lot.

Eventually grass will start to grow again, so just have dwarves perform some meaningless construction in the area to get them to tromp it back down.

Or roof over it.
