Flo Minton is an artisan wood, clay, and glass artist based in New Hampshire and a juried member of The New Hampshire Art Association and The League of New Hampshire Craftsman.

​

Many pieces in the collection are created using locally sourced wood from the forests and beaches of New England. Some of the wood is sanded and stained, some is charred and some is left in its natural state, giving each piece its own unique character. All of the stains and washes used to color the wood are water based. A different color stain or wash is selected for each piece, chosen to compliment the colors of the polymer clay and glass inlays. 

 

The clay tiles are individually crafted and then carefully cut and laid into the hand cut channels in the wood. Similarly, on the glass pieces, the glass shards are individually placed into the hand cut channels, grouted and sealed. On some pieces the glass shards and clay tile are placed directly on the surface of the wood. The unpredictable and spontaneous nature of this process insures that no two resulting pieces are exactly alike. 

​

As a final step, the wood substrate of each piece receives a hand rubbed finish using various combinations of paste wax, tung oil, danish oil and beeswax.
