ice sculpting studio


In the 1990's, Paul Germain purchased a custom property (a unique Frank Lloyd Wright design) in Fresno, California, which was an ideal setting for the Academy of Ice Carving and Design.

The Academy of Ice Carving and Design offers ideal carving conditions, resources, equipment, and comfort for your training experience. AICD's training studio is located in Fresno, California - just 15 minutes from Fresno Yosemite International Airport.


"Mr. Germain is at the top of his field and I wanted to learn from the best. I like that it was an all inclusive course that he tailored to my schedule. The classes are very interactive. The instructor is a master of his craft. The hospitality is very inviting and friendly, and the training is professional, understandable, challenging, and creatively inspiring. Above all, it was fun! "

Raymond Valdez, Chef/Owner, Kings Catering, Hanford, California
