Anyone Can Sculpt Ice: Ottawa’s Hands-On Ice Sculpting Workshop

Our goal is to introduce participants to the fundamentals of ice sculpting small sculptures — from safety and tool handling to artistic technique — through a guided, indoors, hands-on experience.

We’ve been featured by local media — take a look at our interviews.
