He designed a wide range of pieces for Steuben, ranging from line items to major engraved decorative pieces to abstract sculptures. His work has been exhibited in many museums, including The Corning Museum of Glass and the American Craft Museum. Schulze’s designs are also represented in the permanent collections of the National Air and Space Museum and of North Carolina State University, as well as in many private collections.
