The Flaming Lotus Girls (FLG) are a female-driven group of artists formed in 2000 to create our first sculpture, the Flaming Lotus. Our sculptures are composed of steel , stainless steel, copper, glass, wood, light, and fire. Our flames blaze in sizes ranging from 2 inches to 150+ feet.
For the past seven years we have grown and thrived, creating installations for Burning Man and exhibiting at events globally including: Power Tool Drag Races (June 2004, 2006); Fire Arts Exposition: Art on Fire, Fire Arts Festival at the Crucible in Oakland; Festival of Lights in Sausalito (Dec. 2004, 2005); Robodock in Amsterdam (Sept 2005); and the Big Day Out in Australia (Jan 2007).
Dawn at the boobie tanks The FLG work in an egalitarian fashion, accepting input from anyone who regularly attends meetings. All creative decisions are made collaboratively. Over 100 volunteers worked on the Serpent Mother last year.
Ladies (and gentlemen) can join the FLG with no previous experience in metal working and the fire arts. There are hands-on opportuntities for members to learn the techniques used in the design, building and operation of our projects and refine these skills to further their own art.
Our collaborative process includes an open and supportive culture promoting volunteer contribution and leadership opportunities.
