'''Note:''' We have just learned that Roland has passed on from this life and joined the many pipe makers in eternity. Very sad news! I wish I had known him better. I am tremendously impressed with his pipes, his skills, and his humble passion. I enjoyed hearing him in a panel of pipe makers at my first Chicago pipe show. He has left a significant legacy, and made a lot of beautiful pipes! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 10:38, 11 February 2021 (CST) | |||
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 was born in Transylvania, a region of Romania with a long tradition of craftsmanship.
