The school's ice sculpting program has grown from five students a few years ago to 20 students this year. But the increase has resulted in cramped classrooms, Finch said. In the current facility, we have to throw away a lot of perfectly good sculptures, because there isn't the room to store them. The architects have done the drawings, and it's going to be absolutely spectacular. In the past, the business opportunities were limited to doing centerpieces for wedding buffets.
Company logos are probably the biggest money-maker.
That's just one example of what you can do. We recently did a job for a store's advertising campaign, where we sculpted the words, winter clearance' in ice, then melted it down. The idea was to get to the store before the savings melted away. But we're seeing a lot more women get into it.
