Chesnik Scopes was born in 1980. Janice and Ray Chesnik were known for bringing the beauty of kaleidoscope art to the world. In 1990, Janice's son Jon Greene joined the thriving company and brought a different perspective into the family business of hand-crafting beautiful stained glass kaleidoscopes. By 2007, Greene had taken over the company to allow his parents to enjoy their retirement. In 2020 the Chesnik line of kaleidoscopes was sold to Sue Rioux . Sue has contunied a few of the designs and has added her special touch to the Stained Glass Wheels.
