R & R Custom Kaleidoscopes, Stained Glass and Wood Carvings

After many years of admiring and collecting Kaleidoscopes, in 2017 I had the opportunity to take a week long class at John C. Campbell Folk School in making them.Little did I know the instructor had just won 1st place at the Brewster Society International Convention in Japan.After a week working with Marc Tickle, I was totally committed to learning as much as I could about designing and making Kaleidoscopes.I have been a wood carver for most of my life and wanted to use this skill along with Stained Glass to build unique works.I was lucky enough to study another week under Marc in 2018 to further develop my skill.

In June of 2019, I was invited to the Brewster Society International Kaleidoscope Convention in Scottsdale, AZ to exhibit my scopes and unveil one of my hand carved “Bluebell” scopes.I continue to explore new designs to make unique Kaleidoscopes
