About the Artist

 

Wandi Riyadi was born in Tasikmalaya (West Java - Indonesia) in 1984. He used to work as motorcycle mechanic and web programmer as his background and he is keen on reading book, listening music, fixing his own stuff, riding a bike and also smoking a pipe.
 


When he was a child, he saw a candy man seller smoking a pipe. It got his attention much until he began to be in love with it for my curiosity. Indonesian Pipes are actually, banana burl. As he always heard about Indonesian Pipes origin 'banana burl' making technique made him wonder how to make it, how to precede it…. Until it become a pipe. In 2010, he started to smoke a pipe, while he was smoking that pipe, something crossed in mind questioning if he can make a pipes someday….or not. At once, he learned how to make pipes. The techniques. As the time flies by, it had been 3 years already to learn. Seems that he did enjoy learning it.
 


In 2013, he decided to make a pipe, and to become a pipe maker. Then in the same year, he made the first pipe until he took his decision and chose his own live as a pipe maker. He made pipes and sold it to his customer for a present. Hand made and freehand drilled becomes his pipes making concept. Processing steps are entirely always made by hand; first he designs for the shape and then drill tobacco chamber, channel and mortise. This procedure is optimally to fit grain and shape also as finishing. For him, It was exciting to understand the secrets of pipe making independently, to dig the information step by step and to develop the style of his own.
