I am impressed by the craftmanship and design that Clyde Filas-Mortensen puts into the urns he’s made, along with his other woodwork and projects. My mother had recently died, and I was planning to spread her ashes in some of her favorite places.  Up to that point, I had never seen any urns I liked, so I wasn’t thinking about retaining some ashes for her memorial.  That changed when I saw the Artcraft Lights urns on display during Madison’s 2023 Hill Farms Neighborhood Art Walk.  I mistook them for lanterns due to the soft LED lights and beautiful design.  After learning they could be used as urns, it made the idea of keeping my mother’s ashes a pleasing possibility, as a memorial to my mother and as an art display in my living room.
