Schmitz is an old friend of mine from Chicagoland who used to let me use his lathe when I would visit my parents with nowhere else to go. In that time we made a handful of collaborations, the last of which is still available on the site. Recently Erik released a batch of his solo cups to me after spending years developing this Graal technique. These pieces go through many cycles of flame work and cold work to come up with his brilliant layered patterns.
