Special Edition Kaleidoscopes
The "Classic Series"
The “Classic Series” is an ongoing open edition of more or less one of a kind kaleidoscopes which were first introduced in September 2002. The basic exterior design of all are somewhat similar. They are all large multidimensional slumped glass bodies standing about 17 inches tall, incorporating a 17 inch long tapered 2-mirror system. They all feature a 5 inch dry object case which is mounted on a precision bearing for very smooth operation. Here is where the body similarities end.

Variations on body design include glass color (mostly black, white or red), embossing, fused design, and color trim inclusions.

The prime objective of all the “Classic Series” scopes is to produce incredible “classical” kaleidoscopic images with perfect geometric symmetry, surpassed by none.

Classic #12 features 4 different fused mandala designs on the white slumped glass body. A highlight of the 10 point image is the inclusion of a slice of each of the mandalas in the dry object cell.
