There are so many amazing things to see at Maker Faire. This year at Bay Area Maker Faire I spent a few minutes talking t0 Mills from the Flaming Lotus Girls. I’ve seen their artwork at Burning Man and a number of other events around the West Coast and was excited to learn a little more.
Flaming Lotus Girls are a collective of women in the San Francisco Bay Area who work with metal and flame. They’re a teaching organization — women can come to learn welding, fabrication, propane effects and all about the ins and outs of creating large-scale metal art for events and festivals.
They had a piece called Serenity on display: three giant fireflies that shoot flame into the air, along with a lot of smaller bugs made by students in the organization. This was one of the most spectacular art pieces at Maker Faire this year and I’m so glad I got to experience it.
