About Kolika Chatterjee:
Kolika is a self-taught glass artist in Somerville, MA known for her botanically-inspired glass home goods (both stained glass and kiln-formed), asymmetric aesthetics, and use of negative space. You might know her brand as Kanch (glass).
Kanch by Kolika can be found in many shops and galleries around the country, including in the Shop at 3S.
Drawing on a past career as a scientist, Kolika brings an experimental and analytical approach to her studio where her glassmaking is part intuitive and playful, and part precise and structured.
Kolika teaches glass garden workshops to adult students from NH to RI. She encourages beginners and experienced glass makers to engage in this equipment-heavy craft with wonder, and push the boundaries of the old school rules to connect with your elemental creativity.
The goal of each workshop stretches beyond individual flowers: the project is ultimately about the experience: the joy of co-creation in shared space, the humility of learning a craft with strangers, the tactile magic of working with our hands, and the generosity of opening ourselves up and sharing our ideas with others.
