New forms and collaborations with Martin Janecký

Out on Lopez Island in WA. Preston Singletary is working with artists Raven Skyriver and Kelly O’Dell before they start teaching at Pilchuck Glass School.

It’s also been a powerful lead-in to something very exciting, an ongoing collaboration with renowned Czech glass artist Martin Janecký. Though their work together has been intermittent - Martin is based in Prague, while Preston resides in Seattle - their partnership continues to develop into a new body of work intended for a future exhibition.

What makes this time even more significant is the presence of Singletary's mentor and cultural leader Joe David.

This moment on Lopez Island reflects the essence of what makes such artistic journeys special: the melding of collaboration, heritage, and art.
