Happy to announce that I will be exhibiting with other artists at the 'Upstairs Gallery' in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, 11th June to 7th July 2012, where I will be putting in various clocks for sale - some will be made from local wood.

National Trust (Ashridge) to take some of my clocks

Pleased to say that the National Trust's Ashridge Estate will hopefully be stocking some of my clocks - perhaps by Easter.  It is all very exciting!  More news to follow as we progress.

Relative's clock on Antiques Road Show

Last night, a silver clock made by my great great great uncle's company was on Antiques Road Show, valued at £15000-£20000.

My great great great Uncle was William Hair Haseler, a Birmingham silver smith, and his company made designs by Archibald Knox for Liberties under the 'Cymric' etc. names.

Unfortunately, we don't have any items made by him for Liberties!  His Liberty items do come up on the programme from time to time and are usually valued high, although not as high as this one usually!
