Cheyenne Malcolm manages a delicate balancing act between blowing glass for his personal line of sculptural vessels and building hot shop furnaces, annealers, and glory holes for other studios to finance his artwork. Through founding Canned Heat Glass Studios, he discovered that fabricating state-of-the-art equipment for other glassblowers is an art unto itself.
