Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method of forming ice and/or frost on predetermined locations of sculptures. The apparatus circulates a refrigerant through tubing that forms a closed-loop system. The apparatus includes a means to circulate the refrigerant, preferably a compressor, and a means to cool the refrigerant, preferably a condenser assembly including a fan. To keep the apparatus operating most efficiently, a drier/filter and a metering device are preferably used within the system. A portion of the tubing carrying the refrigerant is placed immediately adjacent the sculpture surface to be cooled, and it is preferably attached by solder. As cooled refrigerant circulates through the portion attached to the sculpture surface, the sculpture surface is cooled to promote ice and/or frost formation on the sculpture surface from moisture in the ambient air surrounding the sculpture surface. The apparatus may also include a means to deliver a fluid, such as water, to the sculpture surface.
