Master Kaleidoscope Artists: Glen & Ben Straub |
| Glenn & Ben Straub: The Straubs are a father-and-son team, Glenn being the father. Their superior optics, woodworking, and spectacular object chambers have earned them the title of Master Kaleidoscope Artists. I have long considered many of their scopes to give the best image for your dollar. These days Ben does the optics. Every modern kaleidoscope collection should include at least a sculptural form or one from their theater series. My photos on the two-mirror scopes only capture the central portion of the mandala. |
