24. Book Features & Review:

24.1 Bookshelf: Recommended Reads by Mark Fenn

Mark Fenn has emailed benchpeg with his recommendations for a good jewellery

read. Mark is a mature student at The University Of the Creative Arts (UCA) Rochester

in Kent, where he is studying BA (Hons) in Silversmithing, Goldsmithing and Jewellery

and has just completed his second year. Over the summer he will be writing his

dissertation titled: ‘Tales from the toolbox: An analysis of the different ways in which

narrative is used in contemporary jewellery’.

Mark will also be working in Europe before returning to complete his 3rd and final year.

To see how Mark will be using the many dissertation avoidance tricks at his disposal

please visit his blog and to see the summer project that Mark needs your input with.

Of his bookshelf he says, “I have far too many books to list and it would take me too long to write, but my three

favorite books are,”

Creative Stonesetting by John Cogswell - “In my view a stone setting bible.”
