Where to Buy Ice Sculptures in Michigan

November 1, 2019

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.

Matt Cooper, owner of Icon Ice, is a member of the American Culinary Federation and an instructor with Mott Community College's Culinary Arts program. Due to the inherently cool nature of ice sculpting, Behind Your Design had a great time creating a website that reflects the beauty of this art form. Matt is a true artist and professional, and participated in Food Network's Food Landscapes!

There’s something about a fall tailgate that just feels good. Crisp air, something on the grill, a little friendly competition and, if we’re lucky, a win at the end of the day. It’s also a great place for your brand to show up. The right custom tailgate item can become part of someone’s game-day routine. It’s the cooler they always grab, the blanket that lives in the car all fall or the game that comes out at every tailgate. In other words, you want someone saying, “I’m really glad I have this.”  Here are six ideas we’d put on the starting lineup:

When people think back on a wedding, they usually remember the big moments, the ceremony, the first dance, and the reception. But it's often the thoughtful details that make a big day feel even more special for both the couple and the people celebrating with them. This July, we had the chance to be part of another Macksood family wedding as Connor and Gabrielle tied the knot. After helping with Hannah and Reed's wedding, it was so much fun to work with the family again and create another collection of custom pieces for such a memorable day. From custom signage to personalized drinkware, every item added a little something to the celebration. A Wedding Full of Personal Touches Connor and Gabrielle wanted every part of their wedding to reflect their personalities, their style, and the story they wanted to tell. That's exactly what custom products can do. For their big day, we created custom pens, cups, napkins, a felt letter board sign, photo coasters featuring the couple, and an acrylic sign. We also created custom shirts and socks that added another fun, personalized element to the wedding festivities.

We’ve had the great opportunity to work with Fenton Pilates Studio as they prepare to open their doors in downtown Fenton. Getting to be part of a new business from the beginning has allowed us to help bring their vision to life across every part of their brand. From the logo and website to signage, marketing materials, promotional products, and apparel, we’ve worked together to create a brand that feels clean, welcoming, and true to the experience Fenton Pilates Studio is creating for its clients. Starting with the Brand Identity The project began with a custom logo inspired by the studio’s beautiful front window overlooking Leroy Street. It’s a subtle detail that connects the brand to its downtown Fenton location while creating a clean, modern look that can grow with the business. From there, we designed and developed a custom website where future clients can learn about the studio, classes, instructors, and what to expect when they walk through the doors.
