Knew Concepts Factory Tour

A group of guild members met at Knew Concepts in Watsonville on May 6th 2023 at 1 pm for an in-person factory tour

Knew Concepts is the maker of jewelry and woodworking tools and has been based in the Santa Cruz area since being founded. Brian Meek, Knew Concepts owner and product designer, gave the tour. Learn more at KnewConcepts.com or follow them on instagram

We saw how the products are made and heard a little of how they decide which new tools to design. Brian gave us some tips and tricks from his decades of experience making and teaching jewelry.
