Our studio is a 30-foot-long moving truck where one of it's walls folds down into a giant stage, revealing a wild live glass blowing show. Our craft features 1200 degree celsius molten glass, fire, a collision of creative ideas, sassy humor, fire, and fire.
Now imagine taking this truck on tour across North America...
welcome to the Glass House Fine Art Collective - Indiegogo campaign.

In 2015, Mandy Patchin and I, Kai Scholefield founded this artist's company and successfully built a fully functioning hot glass blowing studio in our very own moving truck! (Yes, we did) The first of its kind in Canada.

As professional glass blowers, and divas for public attention, we traveled across western Canada, testing our vehicle & equipment while performing glass blowing feats, telling jokes, and solving crimes (Mandy is a regular
Miss Marple).
After performing live shows for thousands of people both indoors and outside at festivals, or hosting small
classes for all age groups, the overwhelming feedback from all demographics has been incredibly positive.
So far, our experience has been that this shared experience cultivates awareness and appreciation for art, and each other.
We are spearheading a passion driven initiative, the mission of which is to create an enterprise out of our sincere desire to share our ideas of art and fun through the burning hot lens of liquid sand.

As we have gained momentum, and a flair for the dramatic, we noted that we were ready for the next step, a larger road trip.

This campaign, if funded, will enable us to
literally take this dream farther than ever before, bringing our antics and sense of humor to communities in dire need of each across North America.

All contributions and support will:
- Help weather proof the mobile studio by building a adaptable stage cover and framework so we can perform and provide enclosures for shows in rain, snow, tornadoes and hurricanes.
- Fund permits and licenses in the many wonderful places, and festivals to be visited.
- Provide power- it takes a lot of electricity to put on a good show! Approximately, 30,000 watts of electricity and a special generator is required to power our studio and keep the glass molten hot!

If we don't reach our funding goal, we will thank our supporters, but unfortunately won't be able to make needed changes to our truck, nor power a tour.
