BIO

Jiri Kalina’s work is inspired by his appreciation of natural, simple objects that have beauty and function and by his love of woodcarving. As he was growing up in the Czech Republic, his father and grandfather taught him about the creative and functional potential of wood. His father was a skilled woodcarver, and his grandfather helped to restore wooden parts of churches. Since immigrating to the United States, he has established his home in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he works as an antiques restorer and, in his spare time, creates wooden products for the home and kitchen, primarily, spoons, spatulas, bowls, and cutting boards. All these items are food safe and designed to look beautiful even as they are being used every day.
