A Peak Inside One of the Two Hand-Crafted Globe Studios in the World

London based studio Bellerby & Co. Globemakers is among one of the only two workshops in the world, which produces handcrafted globes. The studio was conceived when Peter Bellerby struggled to find his father a gift for his 80th birthday. Unable to find a quality globe, Bellerby was left with two unappealing choices: he could buy his father an inexpensive, fragile globe or an expensive antique, which prompted him to make his own.

After working on his newfound artistry for two years, he hired a group of talented globemakers. The highly skilled artisans are composed of a small team, who works meticulously with intricate facets in an open environment with massive windows and the gentle tools of watercolors and paper. 

Each piece is unique, handmade and crafted by both modern and traditional methods. Due to the beauty and craftsmanship poured in each design, Bellerby & Co. Globemakers have received recognition from Hollywood to the Royal Geographic Society.
