This writer’s desk was crafted from ebonized ash and locally sourced bamboo by Carter Jason Sio. It’s part of the private collection of Peter and Joyce Heisen, of Washington Crossing.

“My own values have become clearer as I have realized that the words I use to describe my aesthetic goals as a furniture maker and teacher—integrity, simplicity and grace—also describe the person I seek to grow into through the practice
of craftsmanship.”

Carter Jason Sio is a Newtown-based furniture maker who exhibits nationally. Locally, he’s represented by Cheryl Hazan Contemporary Art, in Tribeca. He also teaches woodworking and furniture design at George School, in Newtown.
