Who Are We?
Owner Glenn Hughes is an award-winning ice sculptor who has been creating beautiful ice carvings for events around the world since 2002. Glenn attended the Art Institute of Atlanta and is a certified Sous Chef. He has competed in Culinary Arts Competitions for the U.S. Army and The Art Institute of Atlanta. His love for food and art were key for the growth of the company.
K & Z Ice Carvings is one of the oldest ice sculpting companies in Georgia with some of the fastest growth in the industry. Our 22,000 sq. ft. studio is one of the largest in the nation and each one of a kind sculpture is custom hand carved by Chef Glenn or carved by an Ice Pro CNC machine.
We would like you to know that care and attention is given to each carving with at least four days working on each sculpture. We are known for our last minute accommodations although we prefer to take our time on sculptures and give the award-winning attention to each masterpiece. When you call K & Z Ice Carvings, you will be speaking to Glenn Hughes directly – not a receptionist. As the owner and artist, Glenn is committed to providing top-notch and friendly customer service.

The Crew
Chris "Red Beard" Little
Production Manager
Every hand-cut ice cube we make passes
through his hands before they end up in
your cocktail. We have been grateful for
his hard work and his amazing beard since 2017.
Angus Bateman
Production Assistant
Yes, you see a lock of hair that makes most of us jealous. Angus is a former student athlete under Glenn and now a key member of our ice production team. Fasion model for the team since 2021.
Perhaps the most important member of the team is Teddy. He has worked as the office support animal since February 2020. The hair is curly and he is ready to eat all the ice you give him.
Brian Sperin
Delivery/Shop
Wrestling coach by trade, Brian joined the team in March of 2023 to replace a long time employee. He has brought energy to delivering all the ice goods.
Ian Malcom
Production Assistant
No this is not a picture from the 80's. Ian is another former athlete coached by Glenn and is keeping the ice moving in the shop. Has been a member of the team since 2021.
