The Last Globemakers: Bellerby & Co Meet Mashable 2017

Peter Bellerby is one of the last artisan globemakers on earth. But now, he's teaching an entirely new generation of artists the secrets of crafting entire worlds by hand.
10 years ago, he started working on his first globe out of his living room. Today, Bellerby's studio employs 20 people, including cartographers, painters, globemakers, and woodworkers. Currently, they're working on remaking a 17th century celestial globe, commissioned by The Louvre.

As a cartographer, this would be my Dream Job !

All the weeks of binging celestial navigation and sailing vids probably had something to do with this being recommended. Would love to own one.

Very cool! Are the globes perfect spheres or are they slightly flattened like the planets?

[@Globemakers]

Thank you! They are as they should be for the scale our globes are compared to the world ;)

How are people hired to be globe makers? I'm curious :)

Hi

Weird... why take a flat object... The Earth. And re-create it like a ball? Really weird.... oh well.
