Celebrating Preston Singletary
About
An afternoon honoring Tlingit glass artist Preston Singletary, with five of his glass totems on view in the PACCAR Pavilion, a chance to meet the artist, and a 2–3pm set by Khu.éex, a band of Tlingit, Haida and Blackfoot musicians who mix jazz, funk and rock with multilingual spoken word and perform in traditional masks and regalia. It runs 12–4pm on Saturday, November 28 at the Olympic Sculpture Park, 2901 Western Ave (RapidRide D Line). SAM marks it as free and asks visitors to RSVP. The park's free Saturday 1pm tours continue through the fall.

New to glass?
Glass classes split into fused glass (cutting and layering sheet glass that is melted in a kiln), stained glass (cut pieces joined with copper foil and solder) and hot glass (blowing or flameworking at a furnace or torch).
- Closed-toe shoes and natural-fibre clothing for hot-glass sessions; studios provide eye protection.
- Fused and stained glass suit a first visit. Glassblowing tasters are short and guided closely.
- Hot-glass classes are small and sell out first, especially before holidays.
Taking it home: Rarely on the day. Fused pieces go back in the kiln and blown glass cools overnight, so expect to collect it later or have it shipped.
