If you would like a sculpture for your event, you can call or email and get more information and pricing. If you know exactly what you want, you can download a copy of our contract. Our mailing address is as follows: Dawson List, ice dragon ice sculptures, 1911 Ryders Ln., Mobile, AL 36605. If you’re looking for a custom sculpture, then contact us and we can decide on the best way to proceed. You should know the event date, time, and location, as this will be important in determining our availability. For custom pieces, it’s also helpful for you to have some sort of budget in mind so that we can best meet your needs for your event.

    You must call Dawson List at (504) 289-8977 or email us to see if a date is available before you send a contract. Until a deposit payment is received, dates will not be reserved. Payment can be sent by check or money order. Credit cards can be accepted in some circumstances through PayPal (contact us for details).

    Sculptures need to be ordered as early as possible and some dates will not be available. For the most part, we're taking orders for events nine months in advance.

What we provide:

    Generally, we provide a display tray, a white light, an extension cord (and duct tape, if necessary, to tape the cord down), a drainage container, and, of course, the sculpture. The standard tray provided is a “disposable” tray that sits flat on the table. The lighting is placed just behind the tray to back and uplight the sculpture. Other trays are available at an additional cost. We generally will not return to take down the sculpture and retrieve a standard tray set up. If disposal of the sculpture is an issue, then we can certainly make the appropriate arrangements, but additional charges may apply.

What you should be prepared to provide:

    You should plan to provide a sturdy, skirted table or some other appropriate support structure for the sculpture. We will not set up a sculpture if the supporting table or structure is weak, unstable, or otherwise inappropriate to support the weight of the sculpture! If an appropriate table is not available, then we can provide one at additional cost. Usually, a nearby electrical outlet is necessary (for the lighting) and if possible, there should be room under the table for the drainage container to be hidden (a bucket or otherwise). You’ll want the sculpture to be placed in an appropriate space so that it’s visible and has the intended effect. Do not plan to place a sculpture in direct sunlight, even inside! If it’s placed against a wall, then a darker, simple background is generally preferable to a lighter one. Also, try to avoid placing a sculpture directly in front of an air conditioning vent or something similar. Moving air will make a sculpture melt faster.

    It’s suggested that you plan to have extra table linens available to use at the base of the sculpture and around the display tray. If you’re using a florist, consider requesting floral decoration at the base of the sculpture as well. Should you have any questions about the sculpture set up details, don’t hesitate to call (504-289-8977) or email.
