Cynthia Ellis

Cynthia Ellis started her creative journey by driving (on a lark) from NH to CA in 1975, and joining the Berkeley street artist scene after finishing college, in 1978, at UCSF. (Dad’s “congrad$” yielded second-hand woodworking tools!) What began with crafting pocket-boxes, names-on-wheels, and gadgets to manage some task for herself (or a customer) eventually evolved to focus on designing unique tools for the fiber arts. (Some of which are featured in magazines of the trade!) In 2010 Cynthia juried into the League of NH Craftsmen and later produced a brief workshop video for the 2020 Virtual Fair. During the 88th Annual Fair she turned wood daily in Demo Booth E, and later created this comprehensive video of her 45-year craft history for the ARA.*

This craftsmen is one of many who have provided wonderful video content for the League’s YouTube channel. Virtually visit artist studios and watch demonstrations any time, and enjoy the chance to see these master craftsmen in action.
