Who collects your work?
Works by Preston Studios can be seen from Ames, Iowa to Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands, as well as Puerto Rico and Europe.

Individual collectors include such notables as George Plimpton (author and reconteur), Allen Neuharth (founder of USA Today Newspaper), Dick Nunis (Disney Executive), and Cecil Fielder (baseball star).

The largest body of works by the studio can be seen, however, in Central Florida.

Why is Stained Glass Expensive?
Stained glass is expensive for several reasons:

First, the material itself - the colored glasses, is expensive to produce. Red glass often involves the use of gold in it - cobalt is used for blues, selimium for greens, etc.

Second, working the material - cutting of the glass (or actually, the "breaking" of it) is labor and time consuming.

Third, the marketing of it often involves a "layered" market of the finished product - manufacturer of glass, assembler/ artisan, then wholesaler, then retailer

What is the difference between "Leaded Glass", "Stained Glass" and "Beveled Glass?
Many terms are used interchangably in referring to art glass work, although some are specific, such as:

"Leaded" or "stained" glass are generic terms use to refer to a wide variety of applications. In general, they both refer to pieces of colored glass (or clear, at times) assembled through the use of lead "cames" (channeling) or solder (applied over copper foil).

"Beveled glass" is specific and refers to "The Waterford Look." This style of art glass typically has no color and involves the use of heavy plate glass which has had the edges of individual pieces beveled.
