Rolando Negoita

I was born in Transylvania, a region of Romania with a long tradition of craftsmanship. My artistic background is deeply rooted in several generations of artisans in my family. I am a graduate of the Romanian Academy of Fine Arts, Bucharest, Romania. I currently have my own design studio and I am teaching Metalsmithing and Product Design at Parsons School of Design in New York. My pipe making passion started back in Romania. While it was possible to smuggle tobacco in the country, pipes were not available on the market. Briarwood was only a dream. I overcame these hurdles by becoming fascinated and starting to experiment with burls of all kinds. My early pipes were made of cherry and rose hip burls. These arduous beginnings led to an ever-growing appreciation and love for natural materials and especially wood.

I have a well-equipped workshop, but when it comes to pipes, I am whimsically attracted to my old knowledge and love for hand making things. It is as if I find it impossible to allow machinery to interfere with the creative process of modeling wood into pipes. I have always been fascinated by the union of the functional and the aesthetic, and I view both my pipes and my knives as functional sculptures. I think of all objects I make as being tightly linked stylistically to a world of story and myth where I let my imagination wonder.
