Many things come to mind when one thinks of "Ice" - ice cubes, ice storms, ice hockey... but when Julian and Ann Bayley think of "Ice", they think art. And art it is! From towering architectural structures that recreate whole city skylines to tiny delicate dessert plates, the Bayleys have taken what many consider no more than a winter nuisance and elevated it to new and amazing heights.

Their company, Iceculture, was started over sixteen years ago making ice punch bowls for weddings. Since then their business has grown by leaps and bounds. They now operate out of their state of the art 32,000 square foot refrigerated plant in Hensall, Ontario, and although they still make beautiful ice punch bowls, they now do so much more.

Iceculture has become one of the leading producers of art-quality ice in the world, exporting their signature 300lb blocks of crystal-clear ice, as well as their objets d'art to the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Hungary and even Norway.

From private parties to corporate events to winter carnivals, their talented carvers and technicians have taken an element of nature and turned it into an elevated art. Not only artists, but innovators, they have developed the most cutting-edge tools in the business today. They have revolutionized their industry both in what they are capable of producing and the speed at which they can produce it.

There are endless ways to incorporate their jaw-dropping creations, both large and small, into almost any kind of function or event - weddings, bar mitzvahs, corporate functions, openings, product launches, fundraisers, film and television shoots, etc. Whether purely decorative or functional as well, their designs add unequaled dazzle to any occasion. Gorgeous decorative items such as sculptures, vases and pillars; corporate logos and icons precisely replicated; full-size bars, chillers and serving tables; and Iceculture's signature "Iceware" - dishes, platters, bowls, glasses and mugs of every shape and size.

Some of their most dazzling large-scale creations to date have been an ice bridge for New York City's Rockefeller Center, a full-size BMW Mini in ice for the car's North American launch, a 40 foot-long Toronto cityscape for the American Pediatric Conference and their whimsical "Counting Sheep" ice bar for the 2000 Special Events Show in Toronto.

Recently, at the Jewels of Food annual dinner dance at Bright Pearl Seafood Restaurant, guests were wowed by their extraordinary six-foot long sculpture of a Chinese dragon. People were stopped in their tracks by the sparkling crystal-clear symbol of happiness, luck and prosperity.
