Fiddlers Jamboree Director of Crafts Dana Scott today (Saturday) presented the “Best Newcomer” Award to Jennifer Ernst of Arizona with Half Past Clocks, the original “door knob” clocks.
“I create clocks from antique door hardware, with a skeleton key that swings as the pendulum. All clocks are one of a kind. It’s Functional Art! I use the original hardware pieces including the knobs, plates and keys. I collect all the individual pieces and when I get the right fit I like I turn them into clocks. I create steel pieces and cast bronze pieces. It’s a lot of fun and I really enjoy it. I’ve been doing it for 11 years.,” said Ernst.
