This video highlights the work of The Flaming Lotus Girls, who do some pretty cool things with fire. It makes me think this one idea I have for a sculpture is actually feasible... if I could find someone like these women to help me build it without blowing myself up!

And damn, why isn't there a place like The Box Shop around where I live?

original description

These women are fired up: The Flaming Lotus Girls, a women-centric maker collaborative, creates gargantuan, fierce, flame-breathing sculptures. This popular Bay Area organization boasts diverse membership, welcoming members from all backgrounds. Whether they’re artists, lawyers, mothers or scientists, all Flaming Lotus Girls share two things in common: a desire to get their hands dirty, and a love of all things flammable. And the Flaming Lotus Girls are not alone; countless women welded during WWII, and today a new generation of women welders is picking up the torch.
