A kaleidoscope is comprised of 3 basic components; an eyepiece, a barrel containing a mirror system, and an object cell. Let master woodworker Carl Durance show you how to make your own!
In this 2-day workshop,each participant will have the opportunity to make each of these components, primarily from wood, plus the mirror system including cutting of the mirrors, and, learn a bit of the optical science behind the magic of the kaleidoscope.
Topics will include:
- safety
- operation of a lathe
- tool selection
- sharpening
- design considerations
- finishing
Each participant may choose to make an optional egg‐scope, a small egg‐shaped kaleidoscope, for an additional material fee to cover the egg‐scope kit and turning blank.
This is a two day workshop. Each day will begin at 9:00 am and end at around 4:00 pm. The workshop will be held at Intersections Wood Collaborative at 299 10th Street E., Owen Sound.
