Description

He conceived the idea in 1973 after a visit to the Museum of the City of New York, where he viewed an exhibition of 19th century cloth toys intricately printed using an antiquated process of hand engraved copper rollers. John's mission was to revive this art form using modern silk-screening techniques. This proved to be challenging, as there was no one experienced in full color textile printing, no school to consult. Fiddler's Elbow developed the process the hard way, through constant experimentation and soon became the best reproduction silk-screen printer in the country. Thirty five years later, we are still a family operated design and manufacturing company dedicated to producing well Made in the USA Hand Printed Gifts. Our product line has shifted from cloth storybook characters under the banner of The Toy Works , to gifts and home decor which necessitated a change of name to Fiddler's Elbow.
