Kristin Trainor
Your name and what is your medium and website?
Kristin Hinkle Trainor, Jeweler (sterling/14k gf) - 10-ton goldfish designs (www.10tongoldfish.com, facebook & instagram: 10tongoldfish)
Is your studio at home or outside, and if at home, is it a dedicated room or are you having to share it with other family members?
I have a dedicated studio in my house
Are you finding it difficult to work now? Or has this become a time of great creativity?
It has been extremely difficult to spend time in the studio as I have a highly energetic 4year old at home now who requires alot of supervision! (I do not allow him in my studio if I am going to be soldering as I can't have him near my torch)
What is it you are working on now? Does it relate in any way to current events, or are you letting this be a time of releasing all that while the ideas flow?
The brief time I am able to work - I am making prototypes for new designs. I also am hoping to work on getting my website up and running as a shopify site.
Do you think this experience will permanently alter the way you create, or do you think you will go back to your way of creating art before, and if it will change you, in what way and why?
I don't think this will change the way I create, as that is an organic process that I do not consciously control (I am referring to the process of designing, how I move from idea/inspiration to tangible object).
