Who is Ed Jarrett?
A native of Rockland, Maine, Ed Jarrett took his
mother’s advice years ago and avoided being a starving artist by going to culinary school. It was there,
at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode
Island, that Ed’s life as a sculptor began, after just one
class on ice carving. The rest is history. Ed has been
sculpting ice for 28 years, snow for 15 years, sand for
11 years, and wood for eight years.
After culinary school instead of running a kitchen he
spent 18 years managing private golf clubs where he
practiced sculpting for charity and club events. Charity
has always been top of mind with Ed. Even as a kid,
he used to participate in dance marathon fundraisers. Today, he has retired from the management life and is
living his dream to be a full-time sculptor.
Sand sculpting began as a dare. Ed had been carving
ice and snow for a while and someone wanted him to
do a sculpture in the spring when it’s too warm for ice
and snow. So, he thought, “How about sand?” Ed saw
that someone in Maine had set a record for the tallest
snowman, so his first sandcastle in 2002 turned into
a bit of a dare to see if it was possible to break the
record for the tallest sandcastle. He really had no idea
what he was doing and tried to use snow forms. They
didn’t work with sand and he missed the record by two
feet. That was just enough to peak Ed’s interest and
make him want to try again. For more about Ed’s history and his four Guinness world records, please visit
