What seemed like a simple 80th birthday gift inadvertently sparked a decade-long crafting adventure. In 2008, when Peter Bellerby sought a high-quality handmade globe for his father, he was astonished to discover that the traditional craft of globemaking had almost vanished in the age of industrialization. His journey, starting from a small workshop at the back of his house, overcoming numerous failures with plaster molds, inks, and map paper elasticity, to establish the world’s only bespoke globemaking workshop, is chronicled in the book The Globemakers. The reading passage The Globemakers: The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft (Cambridge IELTS 21 – Test 4, Passage 3) is a book review celebrating extraordinary perseverance and the revival of an ancient artistic heritage.
Covering the themes of Artisanal Craftsmanship & Cartographic History, Passage 3 concludes the Cambridge 21 series with a system of highly classified academic questions. The test assesses candidates’ abilities through 3 question types: Summary Completion with a Box, Yes/No/Not Given, and Multiple Choice.
