Ice Brigade (2011)
Unscripted series following a Michigan-based team of ice sculptors as they build frozen works of art.
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.
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.
