Meet the Maker
Hey there! I'm Emily - lover of Jesus, chai, seasons, a good hike, growing old (but not up), and natural materials.
Heading into the first Christmas I was married, I realized we didn't have a nativity set for our home. I could care less if we had a real tree or lights on the house but I saw a nativity set as a necessity as part of our Christmas decor. I didn't want just any nativity set, though. I wanted one as beautiful as the Willow Tree Angels sets, but kid-friendly enough to be played with. One that kids could touch and handle, but pretty enough to display.
I grew up with a ceramic one that wasn't to be touched, yet somehow always needed a part glued back on every year. I don't want my kids' view of the Gospel as something that sits on the shelf and is not to be touched. It is to be shared - especially with our children!
Armed with hours of Pin-spiration and the cheapest pyrography pen I could find on our newlywed budget, I set out to make my own. I LOVED how it turned out and so did my friends. It got a little more exposure when it was used as decoration at my organization's Christmas party.
Ten years later and several life circumstances converging at once (including a beautiful miracle babe), I was ready to see if I could sell these things. According to my friends who jumped on board even before I had things figured out, I can.
That's Fire Fischery's origin story. I'm excited to see where it may go from here.
How it’s Made
I sketch my original design on the wood, then use a pyrography pen (woodburner) to burn the design into the wood. For the most part, I don't use templates so each duplicated piece will be slightly different - you truly get a one-of-a-kind product! Each piece then goes through a 7-day finish and sealing process to make it thoroughly child-safe upon curing. All of my wood is sourced from USA-based suppliers.
