About me
My name is Konstantinos Anastasopoulos and I live in Athens, Greece.
I have studied fine arts and graphic design. I am a painter
with some solo and group exhibitions around Greece.
I started pipe carving in 2011 with Kostas Gourvelos, as my teacher.
I make handcrafted smoking pipes made of the best Greek briar,
but also looking for best qualities from other countries as Spain and Italy.
For the stems, the finest german acrylic and ebonite are used. Furthermore,
playing around with other insert elements as exotic woods and rings
are an inspiration for me.
The most important fact, in the smoking pipe, you will enjoy,
is the inner architecture and drilling, that provides the most pleasurable
smoking experience, in combination with the good briar.
Besides the classic shapes and their variations, I like to make some
more artistic designs and I always try to make them as beautifull as I can.
