“It is also a love letter to globes and the esoteric craft of making them, which, it
seems, Peter has single-handedly revived.
Unsurprisingly, the book is also a beautifully designed object in its own right, with evocative photographs and charming illustrations throughout. Globemaking is undoubtedly niche, but this volume has a wonderfully broad appeal.”
– House & Garden Magazine
Each globe is made bespoke to order and is one-of-a-kind, we ship worldwide from London.
The chapters of ‘The Globemakers: The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft’ 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.
