Carving
Information
Almost anything
can be carved from ice. For example, animals (especially winged), fish,
monuments, Corporate Logos and most produce. We have various designs available
or can be designed to your specifications.
Sculptures are usually
carved in our studio, except when carved on site
for Demonstrations, Promotions or Special Performances. Sculptures can
be displayed indoor or outdoor.
Ice Sculptors use
special Japanese hardened-steel chisels,
saws and electric power tools such as chain saws, angle grinders and drills
to perform their art.
The size of sculptures
depends on customer needs, We can do any size
varying from small table top miniatures of 400 cm to 4 meter or more high
multi-block carvings.
Depending on your
requirements we can supply special ice trays with drainage or water reservoirs.
Because of the special ice used carvings will last the whole function,
up to 7 hours (depending
on size and design).
We deliver
your sculpture to:
- The event and
set up with lights, drainage and any other requirements, one hour prior
to commencement.
- To your freezer
ready for use, at a mutually convenient time.
or
- For multi-block
carvings our team assembles the sculpture/s on site.
and if required,
we can remove at the end of the function.
Presentation
of ice sculptures is important and to achieve maximum impact lighting
is often used. We can supply coloured spot lights and light ice trays
which illuminate the ice from within.
Please Note:
Down Under Ice Designs has comprehensive Public Liability Insurance.
Pricing
