Description

In this collection of works by more than 25 contemporary ice artists, discover a fascinating art medium defined by its ephemeral nature.

Merging creativity and engineering, today’s ice artist can create incredibly complex artwork, featured here in more than 150 photos.

Ice sculpting's history and impact are described by champion sculptor James Stugart, including events such as the ice festival in Harbin, China.

Sculpting firm owner Justin Gordon explains the tools and techniques, and Dick Brickley, former chair of the BP World Ice Arts Championships held in Fairbanks, Alaska, relates the history of this largest international competition.

As sculptor Ben Firth says, "Carving ice is a good reminder that no art lasts forever; that, in the end, art is not about creating a permanent object, but about changing people."
