Preston Singletary

Preston Singletary (b. 1963, San Francisco, CA) is a Tlingit glass artist. He studied at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington. Singletary transfers Tlingit designs, traditionally carved in wood, onto glass.

Light is also integral to his work, and he uses it to add dimension to the glass and his design. His work is in the collection of the Corning Museum of Glass, the Heard Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, and Seattle Art Museum, among others.
