Telescope Makers' WorkshopI Can Build A Telescope?Yes! Open to all ages, the Telescope Makers’ Workshop is an all-volunteer group committed to helping people build their own telescopes. Bring your interest and curiosity, and we’ll provide knowledge, enthusiasm, and advice to help you complete your telescope-making projects. No experience necessary. Originally founded in 1930, the Telescope Makers’ Workshop has operated continuously since 1967, guiding hundreds of members in building their own telescopes. People of all ages and backgrounds have successfully completed fun-to-use instruments that provide hours of enjoyable observing of the night sky. Many have gone on to build more complex designs that are available to the amateur telescope maker today.
