Join us for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the world’s only true bespoke globemaker. Peter Bellerby—founder of London’s Bellerby & Co, whose exquisite globes you may have seen at Stanford’s David Rumsey Map Center—will share how ancient craft meets modern technology to create objects of lasting beauty. His 2023 book, The Globemakers (reviewed by Len Rothman in the March 2024 Calafia), sets the stage for an inspiring night.
Peter will sit down for a guided conversation with Matt Pritchard of the California Map Society, followed by a lively audience Q&A. Expect stories of craft, innovation, and the artisans who bring these globes to life.
