Gillian Preston is a glass artist working in Pittsburgh, PA, where she creates her line of glass jewelry, Broken Plates. Broken Plates is a line of contemporary glass wearables that combines traditional blown glass techniques with modern CNC technologies. Using either colorful blown glass or tints of translucent plate glass, she plays with form and light as they interact with the contours of the body. Her work is currently on exhibition in boutiques and galleries internationally.
