He was introduced to [[Anne Julie]] at the age of 16 (August of 1974), and after showing her some of the pipes he had made, he received an apprenticeship. Julie taught Eltang harmony and balance in pipe shaping, as well as the predecessor to the contrast staining technique for which he has become famous. He worked with Julie for three years, and than went to work for Pipe Dan where he did repairs and was also able to make some of his own pipes. Like many, Tom found the repair work was great experience in terms of how a pipe works or doesn't work. After three years with Pipe Dan, Eltang took a job working for Stanwell. He worked for Stanwell till around 1980 when he went into business for himself, but he still sells some of his designs to Stanwell, even now. | He was introduced to [[Anne Julie]] at the age of 16 (August of 1974), and after showing her some of the pipes he had made, he received an apprenticeship.
