If you travel north from New York City to Washington County, you will come to a charming, rural area in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. Here, nestled between dairy farms and back country roads is Fiddler's Elbow. More than a quarter of a century ago, John Gunther started the silk-screening company with a handful of workers in an old barn that once housed 10,000 chickens.
He conceived the idea in 1974 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 years later, we are still a family operated design and manufacturing company dedicated to producing fine hand printed gifts. We continue to manufacture at our facilities on Fiddler's Elbow Road in Middle Falls, New York. Our product line has shifted from storybook characters under the banner of The Toy Works, to gifts and home decor which necessitated a change of name to Fiddler's Elbow.
We hope that you enjoy our products as much as we have enjoyed designing and hand crafting them. Your interest in our company is much appreciated.
