The following year, he opened his first studio in Accord, New York.[1] After two years at that location, followed by fourteen more in Freeport, Maine, in 1995 he built a new property, Ziemke Glassblowing Studio, on Route 100, the Waterbury-Stowe Road, in Waterbury Center, Vermont.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

In September 2010, he organized the inaugural Route 100 Glassblowers Open Studio Weekend.[7]

Ziemke appeared in a season-four episode of HGTV's That's Clever![8]

He retired in May 2022, citing physical exhaustion from almost three decades beside a furnace.

Ziemke is also a musician, and has been songwriting for much of his life.
