3. February, 2020.
Šodien Jelgavā tiek aizvadīta 22. Starptautiskā Ledus skulptūru festivāla konkursa pirmā diena. Visas dienas garumā profesionāli tēlnieki no septiņām valstīm 120 kilogramus smagā ledus bloka, radoši interpretējot šī gada festivāla tēmu “Supervaroņi” radīja 30 unikālus individuālos ledus mākslas darbus.
On the other hand, from tomorrow, February 4, the sculptors will start creating the shapes of the team sculptures. Work on the details of the large ice artworks will continue until Friday. For their construction, each team uses one large (200 x 100 x 50 cm) and eight small ice blocks (100 x 50 x 25 cm).
Follow the events from the Jelgava festival in the diaries. Tune in live on Thursday Jelgava cities facebook page.
The artists are provided with the highest quality ice obtained by artificial freezing. Compared to natural ice, it is much clearer and more stable, because it does not contain air bubbles, which accelerate the melting of the ice as it warms. We also remind you that the individual sculptures that will be created today will be stored in freezers until the opening of the festival.
