ice sculpting techniques

This is a listing of the various ice sculpting technique posts on the site. Or articles that WERE on the old site and that will eventually be back on this site. A fair number of the links are still not working too; sorry! (All the blue links though, should work. I’m working my way down the page right now, fixing things.) Just some patience please…

Take a look at the tools page as well… Well, actually, don’t go to that page just yet, since it’s still a dysfunctional mess too! Even worse than this page! But if you do, it has some overlap with this page, but is focused on tools and equipment.

The ice sculpting techniques listed are primarily organized according to the stages initially outlined in the ice sculpting steps entry. There are some other categories, including a very important one, “Emphasis on Safety” to reinforce the most important part of carving ice! You’ll see duplicate entries as some entries apply to multiple categories.

Also, remember that you can use the blog search function to find a particular design or article as well. If you found a one of these ice sculpting techniques useful, please comment on how it helped you (if it will let you in the post; many won’t; working on that too!) and email a picture if you can.

Finally, make sure to use caution when experimenting with a new tool or ice sculpting technique! Most of the techniques are appropriate for intermediate level ice carvers. Please do not attempt any of these ice sculpting techniques if you are not completely comfortable with the process as ice sculpting tools can be VERY dangerous!
