Wear Your Weirdness! Radish Fight Jewelry is hand-crafted, high-quality silver and gemstone jewelry that’s decidedly un-serious.
About the venue: Potter USA manufactures tools for jewelers. Over 1 million antique dies and hubs used to make jewelry and badges, pins and more, have been saved and are lining the hallways and rooms at Potter USA. Attendees will get a tour of the facilities and a chance to see these beautiful hubs and dies, as well as old drop hammers, chain-making machines, and learn about the process of making an original hub. Artwork (hubs and dies) from the 1800’s through 1980’s are in the collection and span the world from Paris, Helsinki, Germany and primarily the US – from Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
Kevin, his son Vincent, and several employees Annie Pennington, and Kaitlyn Agelastos make jewelry with these antique hubs and dies and will sell pieces of silver and copper jewelry they have made.
Come enjoy a fun time learning about how jewelry was made and the enthusiasm of Kevin Potter sharing this amazing lost art form.

About the Studio
About the Art
About the Process
Radish Fight Jewelry is the brainchild of award-winning jewelry artist, Annie Pennington. An homage to a childhood fight with her late brother involving a wooden picnic table "palette," a bucket of water for "paint," and a lone radish in a handful of vegetables for "brushes," Radish Fight Jewelry is Annie's place to play and celebrate the good. With the help of a tabletop 20-ton hydraulic press, Annie creates jewelry that combines antique tools and designs with precious materials and contemporary metalsmithing techniques. Play, experimentation, and problem-solving are key to her merging of antique and modern design sensibilities. Each piece is made one-at-a-time in her studio, with rarely a sketch or a plan in sight.Explore Nearby Studios
