Where to Buy Ice Sculptures in Michigan

Icon Ice brings artistry to Fenton, Michigan in a cool way!

Snow and ice are a given in Michigan. From Halloween into late March, it is an expected and accepted part of our daily forecast. And while many people dread the cold, most still appreciate the delicate beauty of fresh fallen snow and branches thick with ice that almost look to be made of glass. Fragile and dangerous, ice has a way of capturing our imaginations with its glittering surface and the way it holds light in its reflections. Throughout winter, snow and ice festivals abound in Michigan. Competition carvers come from all over the world to show their mastery over this fickle medium. Combating time and temperatures to create works of art they know will be fleeting is a labor of love. If you have never attended one of these festivals, please read on.

The sun glares off pure white snow and solid blocks of pristine ice rise up like prehistoric monoliths. The artist's blank canvas. The air is crisp and whips around as the sculptor's tools take purchase, glistening chunks of ice spray out and the transformation begins. Crowds gather with hot cocoa and scarves to watch as the artist reveals the form within the ice. As the sun sets, work lights are set up so the sculptor can complete their mission. The ice traps the light in its glassy surface, and it dances like a captured flame. The work is done. The sculpture is complete. And it is...magic.

Imagine bringing that artistry and magic to your next special event. Ice sculptures are more than just form as well. Several designs lend themselves to function, too! Ice bars and luges are a popular trend. Entire buffets can be created to hold treats best kept on ice like shrimp and sushi. Frames for photo ops can be created for keepsake memories, and corporate logos are given the cool treatment when they are recreated in ice. So...where do you go to buy these?

Icon Ice is located right here in Fenton, MI. They offer sculptures of all kinds including main and individual table centerpieces, cocktail ice and more. Ever think about giving ice carving a try? Icon Ice sells 300lbs ice blocks so you can give your inner artist a chance to explore this fascinating medium. Check out their new site at www.iconice.com.

Back-to-school season is one of the busiest times of year for schools, community organizations, and family-focused businesses. Open houses, orientations, festivals, and school supply giveaways all provide opportunities to connect with local families. While everyone else is handing out another pencil or notebook, consider giving them something they'll actually enjoy using: a coloring book. Coloring books are interactive, memorable, and offer a fun way to keep your brand in front of families. Better yet, there are two ways to make them work for your organization. Branded vs. Custom Coloring Books Branded Coloring Books A branded coloring book starts with a professionally designed, ready-to-print book. Your logo, business name, and contact information are added to the cover, creating an affordable giveaway that's quick to produce and easy to distribute. Branded coloring books are a great fit for school open houses, community festivals, health fairs, pediatric and dental offices, libraries, parks and recreation departments, banks, credit unions, and other family-focused events. Custom Coloring Books A custom coloring book is created specifically for your organization. Instead of placing your logo on an existing design, every page features original artwork and content that reflects your business, mission, or message. You can include your mascot, products or services, local landmarks, educational topics, safety tips, puzzles, activities, or just-for-fun pages. Whether you're introducing students to a new school, teaching healthy habits, celebrating your community, or explaining what your business does, a custom coloring book tells your story in a creative and engaging way. Give Families Something They'll Remember Back-to-school season is the perfect time to think beyond the standard promotional products. Whether you're looking for a branded coloring book featuring your logo or a completely custom coloring book with original illustrations and content, Behind Your Design can help you create something families will be excited to take home. Sometimes the best promotional products aren't the ones everyone expects. They're the ones everyone remembers.

When Superior Lawn & Landscape completed its new facility, they wanted an event that felt as professional and polished as the company they’ve built. Behind Your Design partnered with their team to bring that vision to life, creating an experience where every detail reinforced their brand. From the moment guests arrived, the Superior Lawn & Landscape brand was present. We managed signage, catering, beverages, entertainment, photography, and overall layout, along with rental coordination to create a cohesive, functional space. We also created branded giveaways and promotional items, including aluminum cups, koozies, journals, chapstick, bug spray, sunglasses, and lots more. Door prizes and a raffle featuring company merchandise added excitement and gave guests keepsakes from the day. The biggest visual impact came from something simple: the custom Hawaiian shirts. Seeing the team and staff in coordinated branded apparel instantly created unity. It transformed individuals into one team with one identity and reinforced the company’s personality in a way traditional marketing materials can’t. That’s the power of branded apparel.

Some projects are about creating great branding. Others are about helping bring a piece of community history back to life. This spring, Behind Your Design had the privilege of supporting the return of the Flint Soap Box Derby to Cronin Derby Downs, the original home of the Flint Soap Box Derby, where racing first began in 1969. On May 30, 2026, the newly restored track welcomed racers, families, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters back to the hill for the inaugural race at its historic location. It was a day filled with excitement, nostalgia, and community pride, but the impact of the Soap Box Derby extends far beyond a single race day.
