Ice Sculpting

This ice sculptor had been working on 4 sculptures. This was one of two swans. I had hoped that I could have gotten a better photo but people and helpers were all around him. In the back, you can see part of the largest sculpture he was working on.

Great shot of a skilful artist at work !

I so admire these sculpters, great artists.

Ice sculpures must have to be so careful - too much hacking and you can't put it back!

[Tunia McClure]

So much work, and then it melts!

[Joanne Diochon]

Was he working on all of them simultaneously?

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Sculpting looks impossible to me; to look at a solid block of something as "see" a shape on the inside, and the chisel away to reach it. Amazing artistry.

[Milanie]

It shows up even better against black.

[Casablanca]

Such an amazing art, I have never seen it for real. Beautiful

Ice sculptors are so clever. We watched one in New Zealand and he was amazing at the sculptures he created.

@gardencat - Yes and no. While we watched he mostly worked on this particular one. One of his assitants was working on the larger one in the background using some sort of an electric tool making designs in the ice. I am thinking he would work on one piece until he got to a certaun point then move to another until they eventually were all finished.

Great capture

Very clever. He must be very cold working with ice.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

@claudiet - He was pretty well protected. He was wearing a very heavy coat, hood, cap and heavy gloves. Since it was so cold he didn't have to worry about his ice melting that is for sure.

They are really fascinating to watch. I missed the ice sculpting contest they had here in town- didn't see the promos for it and I really wanted to go this year. Good shot!
