About this Event
Join Pilchuck Glass School in our Seattle Studio for a special presentation from artist Preston Singletary. This will be the first of a series of First Thursday events that highlight the artists that make the Pacific Northwest and Pilchuck Glass School, in particular, the place where the glass world comes together. Preston will discuss current projects including his collaboration with Czech artist Martin Janecký, which is the foundation of their upcoming workshop at Pilchuck in July of this year, and his work with the Pacific Northwest Ballet.
About Preston Singletary
Singletary’s art has become synonymous with the relationship between Tlingit culture and fine art. His glass sculptures deal with themes of Tlingit mythology and traditional designs, while also using music to shape his contemporary perspective of Native culture. Singletary started blowing glass at the Glass Eye studios in Seattle, WA in 1982, where he grew up and continues to work and live. He developed his skills as a production glass maker and attended the Pilchuck Glass School. In 1993 he traveled for work to Sweden where he was influenced by Scandinavian design. Singletary’s works are exhibited internationally in museums, galleries, and private collections.
