Ice Carving Classes

Two different Ice Carving Classes are held at out Boot Camps.  Our November Boot Camp is designed for advanced ice sculptors.  Over three days students learn from four master ice sculptors.  In addition to learning advanced techniques and designs for multi block ice sculptures, we also work to reinforce fundamental skills and provide networking

The April Ice Carving Boot Camp focus on entry level carving.  Four single block sculptures are created over the three day period using fundamental practices such as the Seven Steps to Systematic Carving and basic tool handling and safety.  This Class is ideal for business with new carvers looking to give them dedicated training on buffet style ice carvings

Wood Carving Classes

This boot camp is held every 2 years in April.  Master wood carvers are brought in to teach students the tools, techniques, and considerations when creating wood sculptures.  Class size is kept small to allow the masters to work more directly with students.  Wood Carvers of all skill levels are welcome in the Wood Carving Classes
