Peter Bellerby is the founder of Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, the world’s only truly bespoke maker of globes. His team of skilled craftspeople make exquisite terrestrial, celestial, and planetary globes for customers around the world. The story began after his attempt to find a special globe for his father’s 80th birthday – failing to find anything suitable, he decided to make one himself, which took him on an extraordinary journey of rediscovering this forgotten craft. Bellerby & Co. has won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the international trade category twice, in 2018 and 2021, and The Globemakers is Bellerby’s first book. Join the Library Society in welcoming Peter state-side to discuss his historic craft, and his journey to its formation.
