I have found the following paragraph:
Quote:
From the ear to the wafer none were permitted to handle this grain, save those elven-women who were called Yavannildi (or by the Sindar the Ivonwin), the maidens of Yavanna; and the art of making of the lembas, which they learned of the Valar, was a secret among them, and so ever has remained.

This means that there was at least some specialization in the elven society , but probably all jobs were highly considered, (even ironing if required [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ), because all work was done in the elvish manner: carefully and putting all your senses and love in what you are doing.
