I have to blame it all on [[Peter Matzhold]]! He is the one that made me think about carving. So I have no guilt. Or maybe just a little. Okay, okay it was I who took the first step. I went to visit Peter sometime in april 1999. It all started at this time when I first met Peter in his workshop. He gave me the chance to design his homepage. Since that time we became good friends.

So I have no guilt. Or maybe just a little. Okay, okay it was I who took the first step. I went to visit Peter sometime in april 1999. It all started at this time when I first met Peter in his workshop. He gave me the chance to design his homepage. Since that time we became good friends. He was the one who offered me the use of his tools and his workshop to make my first attempts at pipemaking. Under his supervision I shaped my first pipes and I call myself lucky to be able to profit from his experience. He sometimes calls me his student and I think I feel like this too :-) | ||
For me, forms and experimenting with shapes, lines and proportions is the real challenge. I am an achitect and I shape pipes to exercise my creative feelings in form and design. If the result is useable and looks and tastes good, my mission is fulfilled! Not forgetting all the fun during the making and the designing. Sure, my ideas as to how a pipe should look differ from Peter's, but that is the thrill of pipemaking. And I see how beautiful this work can be. | For me, forms and experimenting with shapes, lines and proportions is the real challenge.
