riouxartisanSue began her art career at the age of 12, selling watercolor paintings at art shows in Maine. After moving to Southern California, she began working in stained glass, and since moving back to Maine has focused solely on crafting kaleidoscopes. Today, in her home studio overlooking the scenic Kennebunk River, Sue designs and creates breathtaking kaleidoscopes, many of which can be found in private collections and museums worldwide.

From her home studio, Sue designs and creates collectible kaleidoscopes. She begins with pieces of hand-cut glass framed in hand-soldered copper and brass rods. Inside, a three-mirror magnification system displays an endless array of colors.

Uno Alla Volta's "Enchanted Garden" Kaleidoscope

Renowned among collectors, Massimo Strino, originally from Naples, now of Australia, crafts some of the world’s most breathtaking kaleidoscopes. Handcrafted in meticulous detail, they transport the beholder to a bygone era and create a sense of wonder – even before peering into the glass to gaze upon the magnificent display of color. Since 2008, Massimo has been dazzling Uno Alla Volta customers with works available nowhere else in all the world.

Uno Alla Volta's "Enchanted Garden" Kaleidoscope

Our 2014 edition, the “Enchanted Garden” is his finest yet. A feast for the senses, each mesmerizing scope is constructed, in Massimo’s New York City studio, of brass lamp parts and bedecked with hand-carved and polished onyx, richly colored enamels and thousands of meticulously handset Swarovski crystals. Each comes with a crystal encrusted LED flashlight to shine upon the hummingbirds and sunflowers while they revolve to the tune of “Over the Rainbow.”
