Who ISN'T fascinated by the ancient craft of Globemaking?
Join Peter Bellerby, founder of Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, in this visual tour through the history of Globemaking, how it almost became a lost art, and how he is bringing it back, one beautiful hand painted globe at a time. His book, a full-color photographic portrait of a fantastic art, "The Globemakers" is an enlightening exploration of globes, or “earth apples,” as they were first known, and their ability to show us ourselves and our place in an infinite universe. If you don't want to run out and buy globes for yourself and all of your friends after this talk, we'll be surprised!
