About Us
It is now thirty years since Duncan Hamilton revived the art of ice sculpture in Europe, restoring a glamorous tradition long neglected by Western artists.
This is a tradition which Duncan and his small team are proud to have developed into a style of their own, stressing the contemporary fascination with clarity, simplicity, precision and transcience. As a result the range and scale of the work the studio is invited to design and produce is ever expanding: exciting parties and promotions go hand in hand with continuous work in film, television and advertising.
Ice is an extremely technical medium to work with - volatile, changeable and beautiful. To ensure maximum impact perfectly clear ice is carefully produced in the studio before being sculpted with the finest Japanese Samurai chisels. Starting with water and ultimately returning to water, every aspect of each piece of work is carefully controlled and managed.
