Photo of the Day: Potter USA

We are in Tucson this week at the JOGS gem show and having a wonderful time! When I knew for sure we would be exhibitors at the show, I made plans to meet up with Kevin Potter of Potter USA. Kevin is a jeweler who makes tools for the jeweler and hobbyist. I first heard about his products through my sister who volunteered for an organization called Seeds for Autism which gives vocational training(like jewelry making) for adults with autism. Seeds for Autism has a hydraulic press that she would rave about. After meeting Kevin at this year's SNAG conference and seeing his press in action, I knew it was only a matter of time before I got one for the studio! Long story short, I picked up our press during a free minute today and can't wait to use it!

Along with all the heavy machinery of Kevin's shop, is one of our presses above. We got a blue one.

Kevin uses all of this machinery to make amazing tools for jewelers and hobbyists. He definitely makes our lives a lot easier and is a wealth of information on the jewelry industry.

I'll keep everyone updated with how the press is working out at the studio when we get it there!
