Kaleid Escapes began business in 1997 and has operated as a mother-daughter team. The designs have evolved since inception into unique, more labor-intensive pieces that are signed and named. The bodies are cut from carefully chosen pieces of stained glass and house optical quality mirror systems. 
 
The kaleidoscopes maintain a clean design, allowing for the beauty of the stained glass to be fully appreciated. However, a few finishing touches are added including handmade glass bead feet, decorative solder, small jewels, and patina finishes. 

For us, kaleidoscopes are a metaphor for life. They are beautifully ever-changing, unique to the materials that they are made from, and flow from one experience into the next. There is no beginning or end. A piece of us is reflected in every kaleidoscope we make and we hope that you enjoy them as much as we do.
