Preston Singletary’s Tlingit Baskets in Glass

Preston 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.

Singletary has spent decades transforming the stories and forms of his culture into striking works of contemporary glass art. Among his most captivating creations are his blown and sand carved glass Tlingit Baskets.

Traditional Tlingit baskets were woven from the roots of spruce trees and adorned with intricate designs. Singletary’s baskets honor that tradition while working with the medium of glass. These glass baskets offer a luminosity that provides a strong presence.

For collectors, art lovers, or anyone seeking a meaningful work of art, these Tlingit Baskets make extraordinary offerings. Each unique work is an elegant way to honor the turning of the year and the beauty of tradition reimagined.
