I have been making clay pipes since 1998 and my present kiln stands about waist height tall. It is a top-loader fired by an advanced computer system which we developed in-house to have very precise control over some of our other items such as unique crystal glazed vases. The kiln can also be used for scientific tests as the computer produces graphs of the firing and the close tracking of temperature as shown in the image above. The kiln itself reminds me of some sort of space shuttle and does actually have tiles inside which are of the same technological origin. I am not sure what pipe makers of the 19th Century would have made of this, I expect they would have preferred their coal fired kilns!
| This Web Page is up to date as of May 14. 2012 | Buy pipes now while in stock so as not to be disappointed. Next firing of my kiln anticipated to be 3rd week in May, then around July/Aug.

DAWNMIST STUDIO CLAY PIPES Made Solely by Heather Coleman
Tudor Clay Pipe by Heather Coleman
My Tudor pipe is based on original pieces in my collection dating from around 1590-1610. These have tiny bowls that allow just a pinch of tobacco and are good for testing various flavours without tainting a larger bowl. Of course in the Tudor period tobacco was so expensive few could afford to use more than a pinch now and then.
The Dawnmist Studio Tudor pipe has a very small bowl about the size of the tip of your finger just like the very first ones did. The smoking chamber size is approx 9mm diameter by 18mm deep. Stem length approx 14cm (5 inches). My makers mark varies on this batch. The surfaces are all hand burnished giving a smooth finish and a milling pattern added around the rim. Ideal for personal use and suitable for re-enactments of the 1580 to 1610 period. Again please note the small smoking chamber size which is half the size of English clays of the mid 17th Century.

1616 Shakespeare Pipe by Heather Coleman
NEW 2012 - My 1616 clay pipe is a design I based on a style that would have been around at the time of the famous English Playwright/Poet William Shakespeare. He was born in 1564, wrote most of his well known works between 1589-1613 and passed away in 1616.
The pipe has a very small bowl about the size of the tip of your finger just like those used in his time period. The smoking chamber size is approx 9mm diameter by 18mm deep. Stem length approx 13cm (5 inches). The surfaces are all hand burnished giving a smooth finish and a milling pattern added around the rim. Ideal for personal use and suitable for re-enactments of the Tudor period. Again please note the small smoking chamber size which is half the size of English clays of the mid 17th Century.

17th Century style WHITE clay pipe by Heather Coleman
This style pipe has a bowl form that would be suitable for the time period of 1630 through to 1670 so it covers quite a time range for re-enactments. The style would be more suited for a mid-range date of 1650, being larger for 1630 but small for 1670. These are short pieces pressed in the mould, then trimmed and I burnish these all over leaving them with a smooth finish. A line of milling is added to the rim as originals had. They are a neat design and can be smoked. The pipes are approx 5 inches long (15cm). Bowl chamber is approx 12mm dia by approx 20mm deep. The mouth end is NOT glazed.

17th century style BLACK (DARK CHOCOLATE BROWN) clay pipe by Heather Coleman
NEW 2011 - This style pipe has a bowl form that would be suitable for the time period of 1630 through to 1670 so it covers quite a time range for re-enactments. The style would be more suited for a mid-range date of 1650, being larger for 1630 but small for 1670. These are short pieces pressed in the mould, then trimmed and I burnish these all over leaving them with a smooth finish. What makes them exciting is that I have made them using a genuine Black clay which I hope will appeal to people for a number of reasons. Black clay is one of the more exotic clays I sometimes use in the studio. Although it is termed black it is actually a very dark brown which goes more black the higher the temperature it is fired at in the kiln, some batches being very dark brown and some almost black. A line of milling is added to the rim as originals had. They are a neat design and can be smoked. The pipes are approx 5 inches long (15cm). Bowl chamber is approx 12mm dia by approx 20mm deep. The mouth end is NOT glazed.

17th Century Mariners Clay Pipe by Heather Coleman
I created this design several years ago based on original clay pipes in my collection
made for early Dutch Mariners of the 17th Century. The original idea for this pipe is thought to have been based on the Biblical character of Jona and the
Whale although I think the creature on the stem looks more like a sea serpent with scales and teeth which a whale would not have. It might even be that they were first produced because of tales of early colonists in the Florida
swamps who were confronted with crocodiles.
This pipe is 19cm long (Approx 7 inches) and can be smoked with a chamber size of approx 12mm diameter at the rim and depth of about 28mm. The surface has been fettled and hand
burnished to a high standard. The mouth end is very smooth but not glazed.
Hello Beastie Pirate Clay Pipe by Heather Coleman

I hope you will enjoy smoking this witty design.
Stem length 8 inches (21cm). The smoking chamber size is approx 35mm deep and 15mm diameter on the inside at the rim. The surface is all hand burnished on the stem and part bowl. This pipe can be smoked. The mouth end is NOT glazed.

This is a design I was originally making about three-five years ago. It is a sturdy pipe with a late 17th Century form and a cartouche on the side.

BLACKBEARD 1718 Clay Pipe by Heather Coleman
I created this design back in 2008 and the shape of the bowl is based on original pipes made in the Port City of Bristol in England and exactly like those that were exported in great numbers from there world-wide at the time around 1690-1730. Original pipes from Bristol were often plain and a little longer than my design and they often had a cartouche on the side of the bowl with the makers mark. On my version I have chosen to place a date on the side instead which is 1718, the year when Blackbeard died.

Terry Pratchett Limited Edition Clay Pipe by Heather Coleman
Here is a chance for you to buy my new Limited Edition figural design. It is a portrait pipe of Sir Terry Pratchett the exceedingly popular English fantasy novel writer who created the Discworld series of books which are now also being turned into films.
I have only made five of these pipes as of November 2011. The first one was sent as a gift directly to Terry Pratchett himself a few weeks ago. Another has been acquired by a National Museum in Holland and one is held in my own portfolio. I anticipate making a few more in 2012, however, my Limited Edition pipes usually amount to less than 50 pieces over a several year period and can have a waiting period of up to three months during busy times.
This is a fully functioning pipe that can be smoked. The portrait of Terry is decorated with images that connect in a tribute to him. These are quite complex pipes to make requiring much care when handling them during manufacture. The design and the mould took several months to complete.
Stem length 15cm (6 inches), smoking chamber size 20mm dia x 50mm deep.
For those interested in Terry Pratchett you might like to know that a one-off pipe I created has been immortalised in the artwork for the Discworld Calender in 2005 as part of an image called Remembering Granny.

President Barack Obama Show Pipe by Heather Coleman
During the 19th Century many figural pipes were made based on famous people of the time...
In keeping with that tradition I have made and sold a small batch of Limited Edition clay pipes depicting the head of President Barack Obama and I am very pleased with how well these have come out. The portrait of the President is shown and the base decorated with a lovely scene of the whole family standing on the lawn in front of The White House - I have even included the pet dog! The first piece I made was sent directly to the President of the United States at The White House.
The smoking chamber is within the upper portion of the bowl and the width of the pipe from shoulder to shoulder tips is 7cm. The height of the pipe from top of head to base of suit is 10cm.
Please Enquire as I make these to order now and then. Allow three months when not in stock.
Michael Jackson Limited Edition Clay Pipe
During the 19th Century a number of well known pipe making firms produced portrait pipes of many famous people of their time which are now sought after by collectors. As a clay pipe maker I am carrying the tradition through into the 21st Century and from time to time intend to bring some limited edition pipes to my inventory. This pipe is a tribute to the world famous pop icon Michael Jackson.
I have added real gold lustre to the base of the pipe and in his hair I have used lines of Platinum. The pipe has a socket with a cork and comes with a stem which will fit into this so that you can smoke it if you wish to. You may prefer just to display this pipe in your collection.
I have not made more than 20 of these and so each piece has its own number. Please enquire to see which pieces are left as the hair colour varies on each pipe, although the pipe will be one of those shown in the image.
There are just FIVE of these now available
