The Flaming Zen Garden is an interactive art piece which makes the participants the artist. When a participant draws a pattern into the sand, the flame follows the pattern. This piece has no moving parts and has a flame of 1/4" high. It is quiet, contemplative and always a favorite. It can be accessed by people of all ages, from 4 to 104.
