Minnesota Ice Sculptures

MN Ice Sculptures originated with two young and ambitious students from the University of St. Thomas with 7+ years of experience in the ice sculpting industry. Robbie Harrell and Stu Lombardo founded MN Ice Sculptures during the summer of 2013. During their experience, Robbie and Stu recognized that the ice sculpting industry has an absence of young enterprising individuals who are truly passionat

e about serving customers rather than just sculpting ice. Without the help and guidance from their family, friends, professors, mentors, and other sculptors, this endeavor would not have been possible. Currently, Robbie and Stu are completing their undergraduate degrees at the University of St. Robbie is majoring in entrepreneurship and is a business consultant specializing in social media, website and I.T. development, point-of-sale deployment, and graphic design. Stu is a dual major in business administration and mechanical engineering with an emphasis in manufacturing and operations management. By combining their business experience and engineering skills, Robbie and Stu built a computer numerically controlled (CNC) ice carver to produce ice sculptures. Amidst a market dominated by hand sculptors, MN Ice Sculptures stands apart from the competition by owning the only CNC ice carver in Minnesota. With their primary use of CNC technology, MN Ice Sculptures can repeatedly deliver quality sculptures.
