K&Z Ice Carvings: A History of Creating Frozen Art with Passion

Established in 2002, K&Z Ice Carvings stood as a testament to the extraordinary vision of its Founder and President, Mr. Glenn Hughes. Renowned as an award-winning ice sculptor, Glenn graced events worldwide with his stunning creations. Fueled by a profound love for both food and art, Glenn's journey began at the esteemed Art Institute of Atlanta, where he honed his craft.

As a certified Sous Chef, Glenn's culinary expertise extended beyond ice sculpting. He garnered recognition through participation in Culinary Arts Competitions for illustrious institutions such as the U.S. Army and The Art Institute of Atlanta. These experiences, coupled with his unwavering passion for the fusion of food and art, played a pivotal role in the growth of the company.

Crafting the Next Chapter in Ice, Innovation, and Partnership

Today, K&Z Ice Carvings—now Southern Ice Works—proudly stands as one of the oldest ice sculpting companies in Georgia, boasting unprecedented growth within the industry. Our expansive 22,000 sq. ft. studio is one of the largest in the nation, allowing us to cater to your every creative desire.

Building on this legacy, we are excited to introduce Pure & Clear™ cocktail ice—crafted with the same dedication to quality and precision that defines our sculptures. Designed for bars, restaurants, events, and wholesale clients, Pure & Clear™ offers crystal-clear cubes and spheres that elevate every pour, ensuring a perfect presentation and a superior cocktail experience.

A Commitment to Excellence

As we move forward, we do so with respect and gratitude for the remarkable foundation its founder has built. With expanded capabilities, a dedicated team, and a commitment to excellence, we are excited to bring both sculpted art and Pure & Clear™ cocktail ice to even greater heights. The journey ahead is filled with opportunity, and we look forward to building it together.
