Clark, Sherri, Samantha, Mac, and Hobby
Clark McMullen began woodturning seventeen years ago. He was drawn to this art form by his desire to work with his hands and his love for the inherent beauty in wood.
"The excitement of opening a log to expose the beauty nature has hidden inside is too much to resist. It is my hope to create a shape or form that will do it justice."
After a year or more of working alone he discovered there were others who shared his interest. He joined the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) and the Georgia Association of Woodturners (GAW) where he has served as president and held many other offices. Clark has trained and studied with master artists from the United States as well as from around the world. Clark believes in sharing his passion and skill by teaching classes for beginning and advanced woodturners. His artwork and gift items have been in galleries around the country.
Clark's primary focus is creating one of a kind cremation urns. He has discovered a way to use his unique ability to create beautiful vessels that can honor the memory of a loved one with a truly beautiful piece of art.

Mitchell has joined our team as an experienced woodturner. His woodturning is displayed in galleries around the country and is sought by many collectors. His self-imposed search for the perfect curve leads him to a wide variety of forms. Creating urns for Artistic Urns, Inc. has given Mitchell the opportunity to combine his love for the environment, woodturning, and family values. He finds it a privilege to create memorial art.
