It doesn’t get much butter than this.
As the WNBA nears its return from the All-Star and Olympic break, the Iowa State Fair debuted its Caitlin Clark butter sculpture. It’s the second consecutive year in which artists created the figure for the University of Iowa standout.
Clark’s silky smooth jumper matches the soft, buttery form of her 2024 sculpture. It’ll have to stay cold in order not to melt, although that shouldn’t be a problem since Clark has ice in her veins.
The sculpture will be on display from Aug. 8-18, so fans butter check out the life-sized Clark figure while they can. (That’s the last one, I promise.)
Here’s all there is to know about Clark’s butter sculpture and how it originated in 2023.
Caitlin Clark butter sculpture
Clark is one of the all-time great Iowa athletes despite being just 22 years old.
She’s had tremendous impact, accolades and stats throughout college and early into her WNBA career. As a reward, Clark is one of three athletes to receive a butter sculpture at the 2024 Iowa State Fair.
Clark was born in Iowa and went to college at the University of Iowa. The fair is an annual celebration in the state of Iowa.
It’s the second consecutive year that Clark has had a butter sculpture at the fair, joining Kurt Warner and Jack Trice as the only athletes with the honor. The 2024 edition is a vast improvement from the inaugural version in 2023.
The 2024 version has much more detail, encapsulating Clark much better than the 2023 edition.
Clark is no longer playing in Iowa as she began her WNBA career with the Indiana Fever, but her impact remains invaluable throughout the state.
Who made the Caitlin Clark butter sculpture?
Sarah Pratt began sculpting at the Iowa State Fair in 1991 before taking over as the lead sculptor in 2006. She’s accompanied by her two twin daughters, Grace and Hannah.
The sisters were three years old when their mother took over as the lead sculptor. Grace and Hannah earned more and more responsibilities as they got older. Now, the two are apprentices for their mother.
There’s no indication that Sarah will retire, but it seems butter sculpting will stay in the family.
