Preston Singletary

Preston Singletary is a Tlingit glass artist. Singletary transfers Tlingit designs, traditionally carved in wood, onto glass. He studied at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington.

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

Preston Singletary is featured in the NATURE episode and included in the Pilchuck Glass School segment of the COMMUNITY episode as well as the Marioni segment of the FAMILY episode.
