PCA Social Outing
For our November outing we will be shifting indoors to avoid getting caught in the rain. We will visit Goli Soda Glass Studio in Palavakkam for a glassmaking demonstration and hands-on workshop. Space is limited on this one, so be sure to sign up as soon as possible.

The workshop will take place on Tuesday, November 20 starting at 9:00. We will meet at school at 8:30 and carpool to the studio in Palavakkam (behind the Singapore Shopee). The morning will begin with Radhika Krish, the owner and designer of Goli Soda Glass, giving us a demonstration of different types of glassmaking, including lamp work and glassblowing. After her demonstration, she will lead us through a hands-on workshop of glass bottle cutting. You will go home from the workshop with a one of a kind creation made by you. After the workshop ends, we will gather at Sitcom in Neelankarai for lunch. The cost for the outing is 1500 for the workshop (payable to the cashier) and then the cost of your lunch. We will return to school before 3:00.

Please note you may want to bring your own bottle to work with. Radhika does have a stash of bottles to choose from, but if you have a particular bottle you would like to work with, please bring it along.

Radhika Raguraman Krish was born and raised in Delhi and studied Information Management Systems at George Mason University in the United States. After a career in tech, she chose to go back and get a BFA in glass making and design from the Ohio State University. She and her husband Srini and their four children have called Chennai home for the past four years. She opened Goli Soda Glass Studio to share her passion for creating works of art with the community. If you are interested in attending this social outing, please sign up here.
