Announcing: A Kaleidoscope Workshop for Seniors
Celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the Invention of the Kaleidoscope in 1816
I’ve been making kaleidoscopes for over 30 years, and have been a member of the Brewster Kaleidoscope Society since 1986. I enjoy sharing information about scopes and helping people make their own; either in stained glass or decorated PVC pipe.
In my workshops, people of all ages, 5-92 so far have learned something new and fascinating about an old “toy” and made something beautiful to share with others and enjoy themselves – a unique kaleidoscope!
The following workshop options can be modified to meet individual and/or group needs.
One-Hour Workshops
