What drives the price"},"content":{"rendered":"

\u201cHow much does an ice sculpture cost?\u201d is the first question in almost every request we receive. The honest answer is: it depends \u2014 and that is not a dodge. Every sculpture is a unique, hand-made piece of crystal-clear ice, and the price comes down to a handful of concrete factors. Here they are, so you can budget for your event realistically.<\/p>\n

1. Size and amount of ice<\/h2>\n

Every sculpture starts with a block of crystal-clear ice. A table piece uses a fraction of a block; a floor-standing sculpture, a tall luge or a multi-part installation may need several blocks joined together. More ice means more production, more carving hours and more demanding transport.<\/p>\n

2. Design complexity<\/h2>\n

A block with a frozen-in logo is technically different from a finely carved figure such as a swan, a unicorn or a character. Organic shapes, thin parts and elements that challenge balance take more of the sculptor\u2019s time and sometimes engineering solutions \u2014 which is why our team pairs a sculptor with an engineer.<\/p>\n

3. Personalisation<\/h2>\n
