Book reviews in Wildflower Magazine, Homes & Antiques, and Design Anthology.
‘This beautifully illustrated book by the company’s founder is a celebration of this ancient craft, taking the reader on a journey through the history, art and creation of these terrestrial, celestial and planetary wonders.’ – Wildflower Magazine
‘Each chapter covers a different part of the process, accompanied by charming illustrations and photographs, as Peter shares the discoveries, joys, trials and tribulations of crafting globes that balance beauty with practicality.’- Homes & Antiques Heritage Special (Autumn 2023)
The chapters take us through the journey of how to build a globe, or ‘earth apples’ as they were first known, and includes fascinating vignettes on history, art history, astronomy and physics, as well as the day-to-day craftsmanship at the workshop itself.
It also features photography of our skilled craftspeople who make exquisite terrestrial, celestial and planetary globes – as well as hand drawn and hand painted illustrations like those featured on our globes.
The Globemakers: The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft is in stores and online.
