JOY OF KALEIDOSCOPES (3 weeks) with Linda Jacobs

3 Mondays: August 17th, 24th & 31st(if needed) * 10:00am – 1:00pm 

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!

Ages: 17+

2 Mondays: December 7th & 14th * 10:00am - 12:00pm

Learn how easy and how much fun it is to draw on glass using an engraver.  Bring a picture from home of scenery, architecture, people or whatever, attach it to the back of your glass, and engrave away. These will be framed, if desired. You will also try etching cream and a stencil on a goblet or glass. You won’t believe what a genius you are and didn’t know it!

Ages 17+
