In 2010 we undertook a project to memorialize Cozy Baker, and her famous slogan, "Happy Colors".  We tried a number of colorful glazes on test pieces and sent them to Cozy for her input and approval. We finally selected a glaze and began a limited edition of 100 "Cozy's Happy Colors" kaleidoscopes.  Unfortunately, the glaze had problems with tiny pinholes that produces rough spots on the scope's surface.  After Cozy had passed away, her daughter Barbi asked us if there wasn't a smoother andmore colorful glaze to better reflect the name Happy Colors.  We took another trip to the ceramic store and found a new glaze that had just been released by the manufacturer that had a much better pallette of colors.  It's name: Kaleidoscope.  It is as if Cozy's spirit had led us there.

Monet has been our best selling ceramic kaleidoscope.  It is named for the multicolor glaze called "Monet's Garden", which evokes images of  the brush strokes in  Claude Monet's garden scenes.

What happens if you take a square tube and let Dore & Ken's brains work on it?  It comes out a little twisted.  Twisted is available in a variety of colors, including light green with dark green corners, white with red corners, red with white corners, black in white and white on black, burgundy on grey, and dark blue on white (shown).

What happens if you go all Jackson Pollock on the surface of a kaleidoscope?  You get a scope called Squiggles.

A customer asked if we could make a scope saluting string theory, so we did.  Be careful that the mass of it's image doesn't pull you into the black hole.

The surface of the Raku scope includes metallic hues created by putting the red hot ceramic into a container full of combustible material (which immediately ignites) and then sealing the container so that all the oxygen is pulled out of the air.  Oxygen is then pulled out of the glaze, leaving a metallic film on parts of the glaze.  So far, we have been unable to capture this effect photographically, so we have no picture to show you.
