[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 445446, member: 1690"] Let's start with a definition, one as good as any: "a person or company that makes a high-quality or distinctive product in small quantities, usually by hand or using traditional methods: [i]our favorite local food artisans[/i]." Few civilians, when hearing the word artisan are going to think of a pipemaker. So you can't really say that the words are synonymous, except of course on a pipe forum. Seems to me that "artisan pipemaker" would be the way to go in general usage, implying something resembling the definition above, and excluding colossi like Savinelli and Peterson. The word, of course, is not to be confused with "artiste," which as everyone knows, is a gay pipemaker--and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Some of my best pipes were made by artistes.
