Location! Location! Location!
In the 1990's, Paul Germain purchased a beautiful custom property (a unique Frank Lloyd Wright design) in Old Fig Garden, an historical collection of estates in Fresno, California. This property provides an ideal setting for one-to-one private instruction at the Academy of Ice Carving and Design. In addition, its design allowed Paul and his wife, Robin, to provide the optional San Simeon Suite Package for returning professional chefs and carvers who desire an all-in-one package which includes instruction, deluxe accomodations, and delicious meals suitable for our visiting chefs from around the world.
The Academy of Ice Carving and Design offers safe, ideal carving conditions, resources, equipment, and comfort for your one-to-one private training experience. AICD's training studio is located less than 15 minutes from Fresno Yosemite International Airport, which provides the ultimate convenience for our international students who may wish to add a visit to Yosemite National Park to their travel plans. |
Fresno is California's sixth largest metropolitan city, centrally located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, with easy access to Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks.
Note: Due to our proximity to Yosemite National Park
(only an hour and a half drive from AICD on scenic Hwy 41), many students include an extra day or two in their travel arrangements. As one of the most visited scenic wonders in the world, you may wish to note that weekdays are a great time to visit Yosemite National Park because there are far fewer people in the park than on weekends.
