Inspirations in Light


Hello, and welcome back to Serenity Tree.

The next example of carved work was inspired by an abandoned piece of bisque (or biscuit) ware at San Jose City College back in Spring of 2002.

The inspirational work was a vase with a similar interlocking wedge design carved into the shoulder. This two piece table lamp was the first of its kind I had attempted. I have since gone on to try some single piece designs, and even some hurricane lamp styles, but my favorite is this basic spherical shape.

Welcome to Serenity Tree


Welcome to Serenity Tree Designs. My little spot on the web to highlight personal pottery developments.

Of late I have been exploring many carving methods to best express the feeling for each work of serenity I create. To start off this exploration here is a look at one of my first carving attempts back in 1995.
