Water and Fire and Steam in between
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
October 18th-20th
Kinetic Steam Works will be demonstrating the primitive yet powerful forces of steam power. Our 26,000 pound steam traction engine will be powering a large centrifugal pump that will drive a large water sculpture. We'll bring back the 1906 Chandler & Price letterpress, steam engine powered of course, and print commemorative works of art. Lastly, we'll be doing a reprise of live metalcasting in gray iron, aluminum, and bronze.
Kinetic Steam Works
Kinetic Steam Works, a Bay Area collective dedicated to steam powered kinetic art and education, came together in 2005 to explore, restore and share the artifacts of clockwork modernity.
