Manduela

Pipelady

Manduela Riger-Kusk apprenticed with the great Poul Ilsted in Svendborg, Denmark while still a teenager. She is noted for making very distinctive very small pipes and is one of very few pipemakers that can approach the quality of Ilsted's faceted shanks. Currently most of her time is managing props on location for Danish film and TV producers, but she still keeps an apartment in Svendborg where between movie projects she makes pipes and sculpture and visits with Ilsted.
