Professor Norman Cherry is Pro-Vice Chancellor and Head of the College of Art at the University of Lincoln, UK. An internationally recognised expert in the field, prior to his appointment at Lincoln in 2008, Professor Cherry was head of the renowned Birmingham School of Jewellery. His work has been exhibited extensively internationally and many of his pieces are held in private and public collections throughout the world. One of his medals was recently purchased by the British Museum for their contemporary collection. He is a regular speaker at national and international conferences and has undertaken consultancies in several countries, including South Africa, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, and Jordan. He is also a Visiting Professor at Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Australia.
I think this book would be of interest not only to jewellery
designers, but anyone interested in the way that other designers
generate ideas and take them on the journey from initial concepts
to finished pieces.

What a brilliant way to write about jewellery design and
development – to have the makers themselves lead us into their
intimate worlds through their own words. Norman Cherry’s
introduction sets the scene for his 17 chosen jewellers who prove
not only hugely articulate but who describe their inspirations,
work processes, and materials with an infectious passion … Their
experiences and ideas are beautifully articulated and inspiring and
read like wondrous short stories … This book is an affirmation as
well as an inspiration. Thank you, Norman Cherry.
*Findings*
[T]his book featuring 17 international jewellers is a welcome
arrival for those who wish to explore the cognitive processes and
methodologies behind these very different artists … The generosity
of information by the artist contributors makes this book a
valuable addition to any student reading list, as well as to the
bookshelves of established makers and enthusiastic designers of
more disciplines than jewellery design … I highly recommend this as
a purchase, having read it through once already I know that I will
be referring to several of the entries many times more in
future.
