$ce scul%ting is a difficult %rocess. 8irst( ice must &e carefully selected so that it is suita&le for scul%ting.
$ts ideal material is %ure( clean )ater )ith high clarity. $t should also ha.e the minimum amount of air
&u&&les. 3erfectly clear ice &loc's )eighing 1/0 'g and measuring 100 cm I 50 cm I 25 cm are a.aila&le
from the "line&ell "om%any in "olorado. -uch larger clear &loc's are %roduced in 7uro%e and "anada or
har.ested from a fro+en ri.er in 0)eden. 2hese large ice &loc's are used for large ice scul%ting e.ents and for
&uilding ice hotels.
Another difficulty in the %rocess of ice scul%ting is time control. 2he tem%erature of the en.ironment
affects ho) *uic'ly the %iece must &e com%leted to a.oid the effects of melting. $f the scul%ting does not ta'e

scul%ting also affect )hen the tas' can &e accom%lished. 0ome scul%tures can &e com%leted in as little as ten
minutes if %o)er tools are used. $ce scul%tors also use ra+or-shar% chisels that are s%ecifically designed for
cutting ice. 2he &est ice chisels are made in 6a%an( a country that( along )ith "hina( has a long tradition of
magnificent ice scul%tures.
$ce scul%tures are used as decorations in some cuisines( es%ecially in Asia. ?hen holding a dinner %arty(
