Have you ever entered a place and felt an immediate familiarity? Something one step below déjà vu. You haven’t been there before per se, but it resonates deep within your psyche. It feels comfortable. First and foremost, Nadeau’s Ice Sculpture facility in Forest Park, Illinois is completely covered in things. Ice things for sure; tools, old chests, posters of epic ice builds passed. But, other things too. Illustrations of all Nadeau’s Ice office dogs (some wearing hats!), a plastic severed limb, an ancient time card punch. You quickly recognize the space as a living museum. We were immediately greeted by Nadeau’s boss and our tour guide for the day, Max. He is, hands-down, the friendliest stranger you could cold call and invite yourself to meet in a global pandemic. We learned a lot about the trade and the space. We worked with ice spheres and clinebells where we attempted to freeze flowers in growing blocks of ice. Though we walked away with extremely cold hands, the experience left us with very warm hearts.

I really like this ice house, and I've been to quite a few now. For one, this is the oldest ice sculpting house in America. It’s 41 years old, this is like grandpa. But this place always has a feeling of one-half home and one-half factory setting. There's ice picks in every room, but then there's also Disney characters. It's very cool.

We pulled slugs out of the walls.

A lot of ice sculpting came from tallow sculpting because tallow was around a lot longer. But when ice sculpture came to the United States, it was how many swans do you have this week? I got ten swans this week. That's a busy week! Swans are one of the easiest pieces to do with hand tools; almost everything was done with a six prong ice chipper or an ice chisel back then.

The sun likes to destroy ice sculptures before anything else. So even if it was negative ten outside, an ice sculpture would be just decimated from UV rays. We have a tendency of working against daylight.
