Peter Bellerby, world-renowned globemaker and founder of artisan globemakers Bellerby & Co., the only truly bespoke makers of globes in the world, joins us in conversation with Paul Cook, Conservator Emeritus at Royal Museums Greenwich.
After his attempt to find a special globe for his father’s 80th birthday and failing to find anything suitable, Peter Bellerby decided to make one himself, which took him on an extraordinary journey of rediscovering this forgotten craft, one that led to the founding of his company, artisan globemakers Bellerby & Co., in 2010.
Discover the work that goes into fabricating these stunning globes, and how the work taking place at Bellerby & Co. continues a long tradition of bespoke globes.
Join today for a host of exclusive benefits and events, including unlimited free entry to Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory, shows at the Peter Harrison Planetarium, and special exhibitions at the National Maritime Museum.
