Son of a meerschaum miner and carver, Sevket was born in Eskisehir in 1955. Sevket decided to become a pipe maker at the age of 15. After a brief apprenticeship in Eskisehir, he moveded to the village of Margi and worked under various carvers, including Sadik Ercan and Ali Selver. It was during his eight year partnership with Salim that Sevket's unique floral designs began to develop. Sevket decided to form a partnership with his brothers Kudret and Mesut which lasted for five years. He has been on his own since 1992, after his brothers decided to move to Eskisehir.
