Rohit Warrier: Soul of Kerala

Based in Durham, Rohit Warrier is a multifaceted creator—wood turner, furniture maker, and whittler. For Rohit, woodturning transcends mere shaping; it's a tribute to fallen trees, breathing new life into their hidden stories of storms, wind shake, and scars. As an immigrant, he sees woodturning as a bridge to connect with his new homeland, sharing the tales embedded in each unique piece. 
 
As a geologist and environmental engineer dedicated to tackling groundwater contamination, his woodworking practice aligns with his commitment to sustainability, transforming discarded materials into art while advocating for eco-friendly practices in both his professional and artistic pursuits.
