Some photos from the Explorers Club. We were there in celebration of the launch of ‘The Globemakers: The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft’. Thank you so much to everyone who came out!
Intro by Adam Marelli and photos thanks to Deen Kaplan.
The chapters of The Globemakers take you through the journey of how to build a globe, or ‘Earth apples’ as they were first known, and includes vignettes on history, art history, astronomy and physics, as well as the day-to-day craftsmanship at the workshop itself. Using illustration, photography and narrative, this beautiful book is a celebration of globes, and the wonder of the world they encapsulate.
‘An inspirational story of a craftsman’s dogged pursuit for perfection … written with the intricacy of someone who can capture the fine details of our vast planet in something small enough to sit on your desk.’ – Rebecca Struthers, multi-award-winning designer, watchmaker, historian, and author of Hands of Time .
