Happy Labor Day from the Brewster Kaleidoscope Society! 🌀

Today we’re celebrating the hands behind the wonder.

The artists who cut the glass.
Turn the wood.
Build the mirror systems.
Work with metal.
Create the object cells.
And somehow transform all those individual pieces into a little world of color, light and infinite possibility.

And perhaps we should celebrate the collectors, too… because someone has to do the very important work of looking through them. 😉

Here’s to the artists, makers, craftspeople — and kaleidoscope lovers everywhere — whose passion keeps this remarkable art form turning.

Happy Labor Day! May your day include a little less labor…and a lot more wonder.

✨ Happy Mother’s Day ✨

Today we celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, chosen mothers, nurturers, artists, caretakers, and guides who bring beauty, strength, wisdom, and color into our lives.

Like a kaleidoscope, motherhood is ever-changing — filled with delicate moments, unexpected patterns, resilience, reflection, and wonder. No two journeys are ever the same, yet each creates something uniquely beautiful.

May your day be filled with love, rest, connection, and small moments that shimmer back to you. 💜💚✨

With love and appreciation from
The Brewster Kaleidoscope Society

🌀 What colors remind you of your mother or someone who nurtured you? Tell us below.

The magic of looking at the same kaleidoscope with two different cells and the different images you get from it. Here is a Corki Weeks parlor scope and the different images from the two different cells used.

Share your images of your scopes that you change out the cells with. We’d love to see what you’re looking at. ... See MoreSee Less

I GOT MINE... Did you get yours?!?!

It's time to register for the Brewster International Kaleidoscope EXPO!!! And classes will fill up fast! Don't miss your favorite instructor, or opportunity to work with the artist you most admire!

The Brewster Kaleidoscope Society Expo has been held every year since 1989 except for 2008, 2009 and due to COVID-19 2020 & 2021. We have traveled to 19 states as well as Japan. The board is pleased to announce that for the 35th Brewster Kaleidoscope Society Expo we will be in Rochester, New York. .

Pricing for the 2026 convention is $355 (the same as last year) but register early and use the discount code. Early Bird for a $35 discount for each Expo ticket. We are looking at possibly planning a day trip to the Corning Museum of Glass and/or Niagara Falls, so get your ticket, and watch for updates!!!

It's going to be AMAZING! Don't miss it! ... See MoreSee Less

We're starting a series about Kaleidoscopes and the Brewster Society... "Did you know?"

It only seems logical to start with our namesake, Sir David Brewster, in 1816! From Cozy Baker's Through the Kaleidoscope ...and Beyond. Did you know? 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

Anyone else feel like a kaleidoscopeaholic? 😝

How blessed I am to have found a purse that has 16 pockets and I can fit at least 11 substantial Kaleidoscopes in them to take wherever I’d like to go.

How do you travel with your kaleidoscope?

Can anyone name the Kaleidoscopes that are in the purse? Or know what designer created the bag, or who her famous Kaleidoscope designer sister is?

Happy 1st day of the year! ... See MoreSee Less
