[[Søren Eric Andersen]], pipemaker since 1968 with own workshop since 1975. Prefers classic pipe shapes, but does make a nice collection of typical danish freestyle shapes. | |||

Like many other people of my time, I started to smoke at the age of 14. In that summer I had my first job in the long school holiday. By chance it was at the importer of Orlik pipes in Denmark. During these few weeks I was so tempted by the nice flavour of tobacco that hung so heavily in the air, that I had to try pipesmoking, and before I left the job, I had bought my first Orlik pipe, just a cheap one and a pouch of Red Orlik tobacco. | [[File:seapan.jpg|thumb|left|Eric Andersen's First Shape, 1975]] | ||
Like many other people of my time, I started to smoke at the age of 14. In that summer I had my first job in the long school holiday. By chance it was at the importer of [[Orlik]] pipes in Denmark. During these few weeks I was so tempted by the nice flavour of tobacco that hung so heavily in the air, that I had to try pipesmoking, and before I left the job, I had bought my first Orlik pipe, just a cheap one and a pouch of Red Orlik tobacco. | |||
I was now a pipesmoker, though neither dedicated nor skilled, yet. In the following years I tried quite a lot of different tobaccos and pipes of various quality. I never got the first class Orlik pipes, and I never got my [[Comoy's]] Blue ribbon, but I got a very nice [[Pibe-Dan]], and later on a couple [[Dunhill]]s. After finishing school, at the age of 17, I got a job in the workshop of [[Erik Nørding]], who at that time had around 6-7 people in his workshop. Two of these have later become well known of their own, [[Poul Ilsted]] and [[Jens Tao Nielsen]]. I have regarded Ilsted as a friend since then. One more person from Nørding's workshop at that time did make a further career, allthough very short, [[Peter Rafn]], who became [[S. Bang]]´s first pipemaker. | |||

In the following years I had worked for [[Preben Holm]], and here again with two people who has made their own name: [[Per Hansen]] (S. Bang) and [[Poul Winslow]]. After a short period there, I changed to [[Larsen & Stigart]], now almost forgotten, but among other things they did manage to supply Dunhill with wild danish fancy pipes. I had a very short period with [[Zettervig]] and finally came to [[W.Ø. Larsen]]. A lot of well known names have passed through W.Ø. Larsen´s workshop, in my time it was [[Poul Ilsted]], [[Tonni Nielsen]], [[Ivan Holst Nielsen]], [[Ph. Vigen]]. | |||
But now it was the time to establish my own workshop, and in 1975 I made it. Since then there have been up's and down's, but one thing has always been upwards, the quality of my pipes. | |||
For a couple of years I have been teaching at Danish folk high school, and for around 8 years I have been managing various projects for drug- and alcohol abusers. | |||
Among other creative activities, painting has become one of my favorites, and I have allowed myself to show a few here. Anyway, I am still a dedicated pipe smoker. | |||
