S.A Open – Pearl Valley, 2010 Competition.

Castle Lights Ice Ice Baby theme, ties in perfectly with our ice sculpture product and as a result the brand further leveraged its campaign by commissioning Ice Art to create a batch of ice display fridges which held the Castle Light product for icy brand display, ice drinks chests that held 50 bottles each, and Ice Golf putt-putt courses were produced for the VIP before function, championship tent and Castle Light tent.

The ice golf was a hit as always and if you could get three “hole in ones”, there were some fantastic prizes to be won.

For more information and details you can check out our website here or check out the Ice Art Press Office here.

The ice golf course was made out the Ice Art factory and brought to site to be installed. After leveling the playing field to make sure the ball did not roll with gravity we installed the slabs of ice. Once all aligned, the ice sculpture was ironed to be a totally flat playing surface, using a stainless steel sheet heated in the sun – and then the ice rails which made up the sides were added. The queue to chance your luck on the course was 50 m long at one stage!

Liqui-fruit National Roadshow 2009– Summer Meltdown!

Ice Art and Liquifruit worked together with Sisters Act, Bester Burke and Vanilla Concrete to complete a 12 day, 7 city, Summer Meltdown National Road-show that saw the event run from cape Town to JHB, PTA, DBN, EL, PE , PLETT and back to Cape Town again for the finale on Camps Bay Beach on the 28th Dec.

The ice sculpture concept was a very unique activation for the consumers – The fruit flavours of Liquifruit were frozen into multiple blocks for events at the various cities. Along with the fruit was a key inside each block which consumers had to “burn out” using the water from a Wazooka water pistol. It was a like a mass water fight. The key opened a special chest and the winner took the money. The blocks were lined up and the MC fired the gun and the contestants battled away in the summer meltdown!

Each crystal clear ice block weighed more than 140kg and took 4-5 days to produce while carefully freezing in the fruit and keys in layers. A 24 ton freezer truck was required to take the ice blocks from venue to venue on the 5000km round trip. Visually, the ice sculptures looked fantastic and even in the heat of the day withstood the temperatures to remain unchanged.

FIFA 2010 World Cup and Ice Sculptures…

It was only a year ago that the 2010 World Cup looked like a distant milestone that was to be considered much later – now with 290 days to go its almost upon us and before you can blink it will be over.

Being prepared with your creatives is a must with ice sculptures for your functions and events. At Ice Art we have already started taking ice sculpture bookings for pre-match and post match functions, and corporate themed events for the 2010 during the World Cup period for a variety of ice carvings.

In fact we have already been commissioned on a number of ice sculptures between now and the end of the Year for build up events and the fever is already rising in S.A…C’mon Baby!

With our ice sculptures and skilled carvers we can create so many varied themes for the soccer sport, from action sculptures to the FIFA logo, footballs, trophies – Just look at the World Cup Rugby trophy we created just recently just imagine this translated into a ice sculpture of the Soccer world Cup trophy.

Ice sculptures and ice bars like this Adidas football sculpture with the FIFA logo can be adopted to have any company logo or insignia combined into the ice sculpture. It can also be made into a luge or a fountain.

Do drop us a line anytime if you have any questions or require quotes and don’t forget to visit our Press Office and Ice Art Website for extra info.

Ice Golf!

We know it’s popular with certain Inuit clans and Eskimos in the very northern ice capped locations of the world, but very few normal people have had the chance to try their hand at Ice Golf. It’s really not as easy as one might think and takes some deft putting to overcome the slippery course…

Ice Art produced a 6m ice putt-putt course for Bells Whisky. The golf day was held at Brandhouse and there were a number of interesting holes on the day, but it was certainly the ice hole that had people battling to sink their ball. Players teed off over the Bells snow logo and headed down the 6m course, which was straight with a slight dog leg at the end. There were a few obstacles along the course, bottles frozen on the course, and a few slight ramps to make it more tricky.

The main challenge faced was that the ball slips and slides on the ice in a very interesting manner, quite unlike your normal putting green! This was of course all part of the plan and simply meant that players needed to adjust their game, tone down the power of their shots and work on shorter deliberate lay-up shots to get close enough to the hole. One player however, actually managed to get a hole in one!

At Ice Art we can create just about any ice sculpture, and we were very keen to put together the ice golf putt putt hole. The original ice blocks were cut into 80mm thick slabs and flattened out to be level. These were then all assembled on site in a water catchment system and raised ice sides were then added to stop the ball from shooting off the sides of the ice runway.

At the end of the round players met at the Star Bar and here we had erected an Ice Bells drinks dispenser for all the thirsty ice golfers. This dispenser was a first, we actually froze the bottle and the optics tot dispenser into the ice. Then all one needed to do was use your tumbler to push on the optic and ice cold Bells Special Reserve was dispensed. Nice.

Black Ice Sculptures….?

Ice Sculptures – Its black and white….

Black ice sculptures?…. Can you do it?… This is a question we have received in the past, and the simple answer is yes, under the right circumstances. After all we are the rainbow nation here in SA.

Black & white Swan Sculpture

The ice blocks that we produce at Ice Art for the ice sculpture creations is crystal clear and its the only quality of ice black that can be professionally used for ice sculptures, ice bars and other ice constructions as it is inherently strong and has no structural weak points like normal cracked, white ice, or dirty ice as we call it in the ice carving industry. This process that produces clear blocks however, does not allow the ice to be coloured with a dye in the production process to produce a red, or green or black block… These dyes are seen as impurities and are extracted from the water by the machines drive to deliver clear ice blocks as a finished product. Colour can however be inlayed within the ice sculpture during the carving process.

Michael Jackson Ice Sculpture

Black ice sculptures can be best expressed through the placing of a black background behind the ice sculpture, and then using snow engravings and a white light, one can highlight the detail and definitions of the sculpture to produce a very effective two tonal, high contrast result. This approach is highly effective for shoots, such as pack shots where one can play with the lighting and angles.

To visit our press office for more information in general please click here

When using this approach for ice sculptures one needs to make use of both carving and form sculptural technique combined with the snow engraved areas, otherwise the ice sculpture outline can be lost on the black background. Flat snowfill engravings can stand alone without sculptural elements as they produce the contrast by virtue of the white snow.
