John Culver was among the first kaleidoscope artists to use marbles as the object. A great feature on John and other
scope artists can be found in a book called “Kaleidoscope Renaissance,” by Cozy Baker (Beechcliff Books, 1993). Many of John’s early
scopes featured natural objects, like stones and shells – he even used a
shell as the body of a scope. Working in both paper mâché and glass, he consistently combined insight into nature
and the world inside the kaleidoscope.
