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?
