A member of the Tlingit Alaskan tribe but living in Seattle, Preston
Singletary is known for stylized glass vessels in classical Tlingit
forms and imagery, especially the rain-hat, a conical form with etched

unusual because traditionally tribal members have worked in wood,
carving masks, totem poles, vessels and bowls.
He is the first
