Seasons & Episode
The Ice Brigade explores their musical side and manages the impossible, by creating a working baby grand piano for the annual Art Hop in Kalamazoo, Mich. The key to making this sculpture a success lies in the sweet melody of the piano keys themselves. The Grand Rapids team then sculpts a hookah for a local hookah lounge and leaves the place in a cloud of sweet smelling smoke.
The Ice Brigade tries their luck at making casino tables for Turtle Creek Casino in Traverse City, MI. The gaming setup consists of a craps, blackjack, and roulette table complete with poker chips and dice made out of ice. In Niles, MI, some lucky children get the ride of a lifetime on a carousel sculpted from ice at the annual Hunter Ice Festival
Chainsaws and pinball create the perfect marriage when Randy Finch and the Ice Brigade crew put their artistic skills to work and sculpt a pinball machine for Stella's Lounge. An ice festival in Rockford challenges the Grand Rapids crew to design a 'Rube Goldberg-inspired' putt-putt hole; golf has never been so chilly. A backyard bash turns into bowling when the Ice Brigade lights up the lanes with an ice-bowling alley.
Chess anyone? The Ice Brigade creates a chessboard for downtown Grand Rapids with life-size chess pieces designed to dazzle local chess masters. Then the crew helps someone prank a colleague by switching out regular office furniture and replacing it with ice furniture, what a chilly reception.
