Urvana has been living on Mackinac Island since 1990, when she fell in love with the Island life and its people. She started managing the well-established Island Scrimshanders for artist Gary Kiracofe and his wife, Dawn, in 1996. At this time, she discovered a love of scrimshaw, hand forged creations, and the artists that create them. She is also thrilled by the beauty and mechanics of a well-crafted knife!
Pleased and honored to be taking over the Island Scrimshanders in 2016 (renamed Urvana's), Urvana continues to be committed to the high-quality shopping experience customers have enjoyed for years.
