Ice Sculpture Events

Burnley Town Council invited us along to their weekend of Christmas events to create an ice sculpture trail and we were delighted. We created 6 ice sculptures which were dotted all over town. Each ice carving was from a famous Christmas song. The theme of the trail ended with live ice sculpting by Sand In Your Eye’s very own Jamie Wardley who created a nutcracker during the day from ice. The story was….

 

There is a Little Nutcracker who is so shy he has never had the courage to play his drum. But one thing he loves is Christmas Carols!

If we sing them loud enough he might play!

Because we sang so loud (even if it was in your head!), the little Nutcracker has found the courage to play his drum again!

The six pre carved ice sculptures on the trail were created in our ice studio in Hebden Bridge Yorkshire, by ice carvers, Claire Jamieson, Rodrigo Ferreira, Richard Spence and Jamie Wardley.

On the day Jamie, Claire Rich, joined by James headed over to Burnley to deliver the sculptures and set up for a day ice sculpture fun! James and Rich carefully unloaded all of the ice sculptures and displayed them around the town, while Jamie and Claire cut and stacked the ice ready for the live carve.

 

Lots of people turned out to watch Jamie bring the nutcracker to life and joined in with some carols, dress up and had their photo taken with the finished result.

 

Thank you to Burnley Council for such a great day! Have a look at some photos from the day.

"From carved pumpkins depicting beheaded Tudor royals to a realistic but giant castle sand sculpture, the Sand In Your Eye team have been brilliant at making our outlandish dreams a reality. Every request and idea is met with an open mind and they are buzzing with artistic ideas – we love working with the team because it feels like a partnership to create something special. Not only this but they are also reliable and dedicated, and we look forward to working with them again in the future."

"It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with Sand In Your Eye over the last two years. Together we’ve created a 60 metre sand portrait , a giant tennis ball mosaic at Wimbledon and a huge mud toilet sculpture at Glastonbury, all of which have helped us secure high quality media coverage for our campaigns. Working to the highest ethical and environmental standards, Sand In Your Eye go above and beyond to problem-solve and create unique activations that help WaterAid to reach new audiences. I look forward to more collaborations in future."

"It was a pleasure to work with the skilful team at Sand In Your Eye. From having initial idea discussions to working up designs, creating the land art and producing top quality film and imagery afterwards.

"We were delighted with the outcome of our climate-themed Coal and Ice event at Woodhorn Museum. The Ice Trail looked stunning, with visitors really connecting with the poignancy of seeing beautifully carved endangered animals slowly begin to melt away. Throughout the project, the Sand in Your Eye team were enthusiastic, professional, collaborative and full of brilliant creative ideas. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Sand in Your Eye again and would highly recommend them to others."

"I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the sand sculpting workshop. Jamie and Peter were fantastic, the whole activity played well to our audience (a high proportion with an engineering background!) – there was also lots of interest from the public in the activity."
