Kaleidoscopes - Mitzi Boyd Kaleidoscopes-Creating Magic. In this class you will learn the exterior and interior construction of a scope by making one out of PVC pipe. Second, we will use a 5x7 picture {that you bring} to make an acrylic memory scope. The end will contain crystals of birthstones or small objects that have sweet memories. Third, we will make a brass scope with a liquid filled wand at the end. Last, if time permits, we will make a small 2 ½” scope that can be made into a necklace or keychain. I use the front surface mirror and magnifying lens to show the clarity of the beautiful magic you have created. Basic knowledge of glass cutting and soldering is useful, but I will help you learn this. We will discuss different mirror systems and different materials to make high quality scopes. Most of all we'll have fun and learn a craft the whole family will love.
