Founder

Chisel-it Ice was created in 1998 by Robert Chislett, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, class of 1991. After years in the kitchen working as a chef, Bob’s passion for the art of ice sculpting drove him to open his own business. Since then, Chisel-It Ice has grown into the Bay Area’s premier ice sculpting company thanks to its team of talented and dedicated individuals. It all begins though with Bob’s vision, fueled by his willingness to go in new, creative directions. If you can dream it, he can ‘Chisel-it.’
