Live Ice Carving
Turn the creation of an ice sculpture into part of the entertainment. Internationally recognized ice carver Angelito Baban transforms a crystal-clear block of ice into a finished sculpture live in front of your guests.
From the first cuts with a chainsaw to the final details carved by hand, guests get an up-close look at a process that normally happens behind the scenes in our carving studio.
Watch the design take shape in real time as our carvers cuts, shapes and adds intricate details to the ice.
Watch the Sculpture Come to Life
Live carving brings movement, sound and creativity to an event as the design takes shape in real time. A typical carving lasts one to two hours with a minimum two-block sculpture, giving guests plenty of opportunities to gather around, watch the progress and see a solid block of ice gradually become a detailed sculpture. Lito brings the tools needed for the carving, with the event site providing access to electricity for his chainsaw. Once complete, the finished piece can remain on display for guests to enjoy, turning one sculpture into both live entertainment and event décor.
