World champion ice sculptors Steve and Heather Brice put on carving seminars recently at the Ice Concepts, Inc. studio near Philadelphia. The seminars focused on human anatomy and 3 or 4 students at a time attended intensive 3 day workshops in the freezer to improve their skills and learn new techniques. The Brices plan on running similar seminars in the future. Possible sites include studios in the northwest and midwest U.S. If you’re interested in attending or even hosting a seminar, you can email the Brices for more details. Heather was kind enough to send a few photos from the Philly seminar.
