Elsie Williams, a native of New Bern, NC, has a BFA in Interior
Design from East Carolina University. Elsie, one of the founders of City ArtWorks in New Bern (which
is currently City Art Gallery in Greenville, NC) has a passion for design. This passion is currently being expressed
through her handmade jewelry.
Elsie is inspired by the details on vintage objects, the center of a
nautilus shell, spring buds on a tree, a raindrop and other designs from nature
and everyday life. Even though her
process (forming the metal clay, firing, sanding, polishing) is laborious,
Elsie puts her whole being into each piece she creates.
