Through the combined experience, talent and effort of both families, the Fire Pit Gallery soon outgrew its location. To accommodate for the high volume of orders, the family moved the business in August 2013 to a larger facility in Bristolville, Ohio.

Melissa Crisp is the artist who designs and cuts most of the bowls. A true artist by nature, Melissa was creating, sketching, sculpting, and painting since early childhood. Her passion took off when she was given a custom-built “art center” in the fourth grade and took her all the way to an art scholarship to the University of Nebraska in Omaha after high school. She is truly in her element with steel as her medium for artistic expression.

Jason is our certified welder and preps and finishes the bowls. Melissa hand draws every bowl with her designs and the cuts them out with a plasma cutter along with Jason to turn the bowls into custom art.

Tom’s focus is on growing the business and keeping the shop well supplied with as much recycled steel as possible and Marlene works in the office doing the accounting, shipping, answering emails and takes phone calls.
