When I was teaching myself how to make eyewear, I spent a lot of time collecting vintage frames that held information that I wanted to learn. When I teach the class called "making a spectacle", we spend some time checking out all the amazing innovations and inventions that the old stuff offers up.
So for students who have already taken my class, here are a bunch of old vintage inspiration samples, so you remember how to put things together!
and if you haven't taken the class, hopefully this will inspire a direction for your own spectacle making...
ok, work hard, play hard, have fun, and invent some new stuff! and let us know when you do...it does make all of us smarter!
