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!

When your pieces are cut, they will be embellished and trimmed and fused together in the kiln and then refired and slumped on a mold to create a standup person or creature. You claim the bragging rights!

Use your skills from "Fun with Fusing" classes or previous fusing experience to make 2 pieces - square, rectangular or round - up to 8" in size. Once you've cut the glass and created your design the instructor will fuse your piece and then slump it for you on the mold that you have chosen.
