>>829082Finding a group of folks that ice climb could be a start. If you are in an area with a lot of ice climbing in winter you can probably find rental boots/crampons.
Though to be honest, the best way is to hire a guide for a weekend. A guide would be better than others at teaching you the technique and could provide equipment.
Things to consider. Clothing is a key component. Ice climbing you'll yo-yo between really warm and really cold. When climbing you'll warm up, when hanging around you'll cool off. So dressing in layers and having a big puffy jacket that's easy to take on and off will help a lot. Pants that are trim around the ankles will help you with walking around. Crampons are tricky to learn to move around with.
Helmets are mandatory. Ice falls, it's part of the game. Make sure that your harness fits correctly with the additional layers on.
