<br>I also noticed that the person teaching the "Create Real Rust" class at Workshop Weekend had a jar of atomized iron powder that I was thinking would probably work fairly well to make ferrofluid. May be worth checking some art stores with a magnet - or just ask that teacher where she got hers.<br>
<br>I think the Exploratorium or another similar booth had a nice ferrofluid demo at Maker Faire one or two years ago. Just a big glob of ferrofluid in a glass jar, and some powerful magnets that people could move by turning a wheel.<br>
<br>Patrik<br><br>PS: Doesn't quite classify as a ferro"fluid", but check out the video about this guy's work:<br><br><a href="http://jolanvanderwiel.nl/?p=272">http://jolanvanderwiel.nl/?p=272</a><br><br>

If we get nice results we could put them in the box office next Art Murmur. I've been wanting to try that for a long time, and there are some methods that are free or under ten dollars cheap.<br>
