The Carol Duvall Show cameras visit ceramist Ellen Williams, who creates figurative ceramics, including platters, candleholders and menorahs in the shape of whimsical Victorian characters.

Williams creates ceramic menorahs featuring people figurines as the candleholders.
|
Menorahs are the latest item in her repertoire (she has fewer than 40), but they seem to command the most attention at craft fairs. The nine-branched menorah used for Hanukkah provides a connection to her heritage and family through her art.
Williams also makes candlesticks featuring people ...
| 
... and platters.
|
Williams hand-builds each character or branch in the menorah. Once the menorah has been bisque-fired, she begins the elaborate glazing process, giving each branch has its own unique style and colors before firing the menorah a final time.
The candleholders in this menorah are sculpted to resemble a charming flower garden.
