Grant Wood, trained at the Kalo Shop and later famous for his painting, formed a partnership with Norwegian silversmith, Kristopher Haga, in June, 1914. Named Volund, after the Norse god of silversmiths, the shop produced handmade gold, silver, and jewelry until it went out of business after only 18 months. (see Sharon S. Darling, Chicago Metalsmiths, 1977, p. 63; incorrectly spelled Wolund.)
