Episode 9: Peter Bellerby, Founder of Bellerby & Co Globemakers

Peter is one of the only artisan globe makers in the world today. He and his team make custom globes out of his London studio for passionate individuals, collectors, and museums that can run well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. He didn't start out in the arts, though. He created a business for pizza parlors, ran a nightclub, did some property development ... It was only when he tried creating a custom globe as a birthday present for his Dad that he fell in love with the craft and decided to turn it into a business.
