'''J.T.Cooke''' was professionally trained as a commercial artist at the Rhode Island School of design, but transitioned into the life of a full time pipe maker some 30 plus years ago. In the 1980's Jim began to repair and restore high grade pipes, which allowed him the opportunity to study the characteristics and quality achieved by master pipe makers. He also learned the differences between good pipes, and great pipes, and has been able to capitalize on this experience in the design and implementation of his own pipes. | '''J.T.Cooke''' was professionally trained as a commercial artist at the Rhode Island School of design, but transitioned into the life of a full time pipe maker some 30 plus years ago.
