JOY OF KALEIDOSCOPES

Linda Jacobs, Instructor

One of my favorite things to do as a child was to hold my kaleidoscope up to the light and turn it around and around, making endless designs in an infinity of colors. Now I make my own and you can too! We start by making a lens that will reflect and repeat the image. Then a goody chamber, full of wonderful tidbits and collectibles. Finally, a container to house it all in – like an empty Pringles can, a Hershey’s cocoa box, a macaroni and cheese box – you get the picture! Any container! (You may have to eat the contents first) Leave it plain and surprise the viewer when they look in, or gussy the outside up with fabric, glass, anything!

Class meets: 3 Mondays: August 17, 24, and 31(if needed) Time: 10am – 1pm Glass studio Ages: 17 and older
