Welcome to this display of our Kaleidoscope work, which developed out of our 20-year involvement in Stained Glass. We hope you will share our enthusiasm for the magical images which are conjured up by these deceptively simple instruments. We are based in Odiham, Hampshire in UK and as far as we know, we have the only studio dedicated to design and creation of Kaleidoscopes in the country.
