Author Bio
Eric G Ayto has manufactured clay tobacco pipes as a craft potter since 1972. When living in the seventeenth-century coaching village of Colnbrook he became a member of the Middle Thames Archaeological and Historical Society, and his interest in the history of clay pipes led him to Eton, where he discovered an almost forgotten pipemaking industry dating from about 1690 to 1914.
