Female Pipe Makers?

[Johnny_Pipecleaner]

Who are some of your favorites? I'm looking to support the ladies of the briar with my some of my future pipe purchases.

Thanks!

On that post, I saw Regina Scarlotta listed. That is not a lady's name. It means Red Queen in Italian. Cristian's wife does help out, but I wouldn't really call her the pipemaker. Unless we are talking very loosely about whether a woman is involved in the least little way...

Yes as you read through the thread folks do point out the errors on that list

Man, Nana Ivarsson makes some amazing stuff. Probably out of my price range but WOW, stunning

I have only purchased and used a Scottie Piersel pipe. I picked it up from her at the West Coast show with some help from Jesse who owns a few.

I love mine it's a great smoker.

An aside: I always hope that the brilliant women pipe carvers actually smoke their pipes. The idea of making beautiful briars and then not smoking them is kind of disturbing.

What leads you to believe they don't smoke them?

Wonder if Kevin can interview any of them. Would make an excellent radio show.

I've not yet seen a pipe from them that caught my interest enough to buy.

Which maker are you referring to?

Here is my 7 day set of billiards by Scottie. She does great work!

I love Scottie's pipes. Pure class and elegance in those designs. When I get the money, I want my first commissioned pipe to be made by her. I'm normally more of a straight pipe guy, but Silver Gray's hawkbills are rad as hell, too

I have both a Scottie Pierson pipe and a Elena Doroshenko pipe.

Silver Gray is high on the list. Lovely lady.

I know Scottie smokes. Her favorite is McCranies Red Flake.

I think it almost goes without saying that anyone who makes pipes for a living has at least been a pipe smoker at one time, and most likely still is. How else could you even begin to approach such an art?

This isn't based on any research or facts, but seems logical to me

 

[voorhees]

I know Silver Gray smokes a pipe. Seen her in action.

Agreed. Nanna Ivarsson's pipes are beautiful and out of most people's reach..... IF you can even find one for sale....

 

[Waning Embers]

Which maker are you referring to?

The females. None have yet to make a pipe that has caught my eye.

Or more accurately, you haven't been looking very hard
