Derek and Timothy Staines

Derek and Timothy Staines

United Kingdom

Timothy and David Staines are makers of orreries, old-fashioned contraptions that reconstruct the solar system and its functioning. Timothy is one of only five orrery makers worldwide and there is a waiting list for over two years for one of his pieces. Hear Timothy and David discuss their passion for this endangered craft.
