I just hung out with Hauns Ittiag at champs. I have a open invitation to go work with them. (getting my pass port as soon as I get home)
I bought his fathers 40mm and pedal a few years back.
NicoO,
The corning library is the "Rakow library."

If you need any help drop me a p.m., I can always contact Eric Goldschmidt. He is the corning glass events supervisor. I had not known he was a phish friend , until I was a guest artist at corning last December.
My grandfather was born in Lauscha too and left Thuringia to go to Berlin in the early twenties. He was a very Talented scientific glass blower and I watched him working since I was a little child. Years later I had the oportunity to meet Matthias Klering working on a Montage. I would compare his style with Wallstabs and it was just amazing to see how "easy going" the glass was in his hands.
In the late 90's/early 00's Robert Mickelsen had a website of flameworked artists I think it was called global-flamework.com or something like that. The flamework world was much smaller then, he had about 25 or so artists represented which covered most of the big names. Anyways I downloaded them all since I was on dialup then and after a little digging I found them. Here is the images from Kurt Wallstab's gallery.
