London Ice Sculpting Festival 2014
Fun festival at Canary Wharf with ice sculptors from around the world working on large pieces throughout the day. It might of been better to go later in the day when the works were more finished but even at lunchtime it was fascinating to watch a block gradually become a work of art. I found it interesting how they seemed to keep the design in mind and knew just which but to cut off and when. Many of them had the final design on show. Sometimes they seemed to be cutting away most of the block with a chainsaw. It was an interesting way to see sculpting happening quickly and get an idea of what must be involved in the much longer process of stone carving. Review Independent
