Pierre Morel

St Claudes last Artisan Pipe Maker. This 6th generation artist has worked for BC and Chacom over the years. His family are engrained in pipe making history, Pierres grandfather taught Savineli how to make the free hand & flower shapes they are now world famous for.
Pierre kindly allowed us to film him demonstrating most of the techniques used to create standard round & freehand/flower pipes.
Big thanks to Pierre Morel for his hospitality willingness to share this artistic process.
