For the most part, an ice sculpture can stand alone as a feature, as purely a static decor item. The look and feel of the ice is unique enough to carry this off. Therefore ice sculptures of Logo’s, animals, product replicas etc…can generate enough of an appeal all by their lonesome selves.

However, the fantastic thing about ice sculptures, and something we like to focus on at Ice Art is bring interactive elements into the mix when the function or event suits it. Ice sculptures can be made into Luge’s for pouring shooters, or for a more permanent flow they can also double up as a drinks fountain with the liquid flowing through the ice sculpture and into a catch tray. Live ice carvings on site for guests is very entertaining, but even more so when we can actually pull out members of the guest party and let them assist us on the completion of the ice sculptures… normally towards the beginning so that there is less chance of them hacking off a crucial part of the almost finished sculpture!

Sculptures that chill bottles, or keep seafood or ice cream cold are great ways to make use of the ice sculptures temperature properties as well as its visual elements.

Ice Bars for example, can easily be converted into a seafood station, or even an ice cream station – looks fantastic and serves an icy purpose too.

There are examples of this on our Press Office and our website – www.iceart.co.za

For more images and examples of these concepts please visit our press office – The SA Golf Open Ice golf ball shows a great example of a fountain, and the Vawter Ice Chest shows am excellent way to chill bottles and have them on display with branding at the same time ( see above image ). There is also an image below of the fountain.

Of course, making use of the the cold temperature of the ice sculptures in South Africa is a must on many occasions as it can be extremely hot here during the summer season.
