JOY OF KALEIDOSCOPES with Linda Jacobs

4 Mondays: June 1st, 8th, 15th (& 22 if needed - may only need 3 weeks) 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! Leave it plain and surprise the viewer when they look in, or gussy the outside up with fabric, glass, anything!
