For more than 10 years Sam Sidders created hundreds of Kaleidoscopes in a large variety of styles. Even though Sam is no longer producing a large quantity of kaleidoscopes, he still maintains a modest inventory of them at his studio. There are still a couple of shops and galleries that display his work as well.

Each of Sam's scopes is unique due to the differences in materials, design, etc.,
Consequently each scope is priced individually.
The kaleidoscopes pictured here are examples of Sam's different Wheel scope styles.
