Ice Art kicked off the events season by getting involved in a wide variety and cross section of events across a range of industries, creating ice sculptures that wowed the crowds. Some of the events over 2011 included year-end functions, weddings, brand launches and industry showcase expos.

Ice Sculpture Events & Highlights

Over the past year, Ice Art has participated in a number of events, allowing us to unleash our creativity through awe-inspiring ice sculptures. Some of the most notable events included the following:

• Castle Light / SAB

Ice Art produced the Castle Light Snowflake Icon at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, a sculpture that took over four days to create. Having enjoyed a great relationship with Castle Light over the past year, we are proud to have been part of the ice cold message that is part of the Castle Light brand identity.

• St Yves, Camps Bay

Ice Art was also present at a range of events held at St Yves over the past few months, including a live ice carving that was created for the popular beach club’s relaunch. We also created a snowfill carving that was showcased at an after-party for the Lil Wayne concert.

• Weddings

Ice Art has also been making a buzz across the wedding industry. We were honoured to have been able to provide a special décor touch for a spectacular wedding at Pezula Golf estate in Knysna, where an eye-catching shrimp terrace and vodka ice luge was created on behalf of Weddings by Marius. We also appeared at wedding expos hosted by Celebration house and Absolute Weddings.

• Corporate Functions

Recently we have also created live ice carvings for corporate functions, including year-end events. Some of the highlights for these events included a Sword in the Stone sculpture for Balamory Investments as well as a company logo incorporated into Table Mountain for Open Box Software.

Upcoming Ice Art Creations

One of the most exciting upcoming Ice Art creations is a carving of the Amarula Elephant that will be unveiled at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens’ New Year’s Eve celebration. This sculpture will use 1.2 tons of ice, making it as close to life-size as it gets!

We will also be presenting a 5 block carving of the classic sculpture ‘The Kiss’ by Rodin for a Durex event, along with another creation that will feature a fountain that incorporates the Durex logo.

Looking back at 2011, Ice Art is proud to have been part of so many exciting events, and we are excited to see what the New Year has to offer. On behalf of all of us at Ice Art, we wish all of our clients and ice sculpture fans a prosperous, thrilling 2012!
