A Heartfelt Thank you
After much reflection, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close both my gallery and teaching facility. This marks one of the hardest choices of my career. The past 12 years, running my retail business in downtown Boise has been an incredibly rewarding journey—educating the community, promoting enameling, metalsmithing and welding, collaborating with local artists, and showcasing their work. Hiring and working alongside so many talented creatives has filled my life with meaning and joy.
While I feel a little nervous, I’m also exhilarated for this next chapter—one that will allow me more time for my own artistic practice and more precious moments with my 7-year-old daughter and husband. I will continue to be an active part of Boise’s art community, supporting education and contributing to the city’s creative culture.
The final day that FireFusion Studio and the Delia Dante Gallery will be open is October 31st. Starting September 1st, our new hours will be Thursday–Saturday, 10 AM–6 PM, closed Sunday–Wednesday. If you have purchased a gift card and it is still valid, please use it before October 31st or contact us for a refund.
It has been my absolute pleasure and honor to serve such a vibrant and supportive community. Thank you for your encouragement and friendship throughout the years.

With gratitude,
Delia Dante
A note from Christina:
After two amazing years of teaching and creating at Firefusion Studio, it’s time to turn the page. This has been a place where I’ve grown as an artist, teacher, and collaborator, surrounded by an incredible creative community.
I’m so grateful for the inspiring clients, talented artists, and lasting friendships I’ve found here—especially to Delia Dante for her mentorship, encouragement, and generosity.
While it’s bittersweet to see the gallery close, I’m excited for the next adventure; I'm following my heart to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
