Welcome to Seattle Metals Guild
Cynthia Eid Workshop
Whether using hand-made mallets and stakes or the newest hydraulic press tools, Cynthia’s focus is on exploring the fluidity with which metal can be moved and formed. Her metalwork has strong ties to nature partly due to daily walks through the woods behind her home. Cynthia enjoys working in a variety of scales, from rings to teapots and Judaica to Synagogue Art.
