How many internships have you had so far?
- Just the one.
Is this a place you would consider for a career or just a stepping stone?
- Hmm, it would be a place I would... (hesitation)..consider, yea.
How has this internship benefitted you/ enhance your previous skills?
- I'm learning some technical skills I guess, other than that, not too much of anything else.
Are you well respected with the people you work with? Do they value your importance/contribution?
- No, well maybe a few of them do.
Would you say this i a good experience?
- Yea, I would say so.
Are you able to network often?
- I guess, other artists don't seem to visit often, but people do come in and I usually greet them, say hi, introduce myself. This weekend is the big forging on the river. I'll be working on that so I suppose that would be my oppurtunity to visit and network with other artists.
Do you only do jobs related to your specific department or are you able to branch out?
- I am assigned to work in the shop smithing, but the first few weeks I just cleaned the bathrooms and swept. Lately, I've been doing sculpture related work, drilling holes in the walls, general repair. If what you're asking is do I get to visit the museum, then no, I don't really have a chance to visit the library there either.
If they were to offer you a job would you take it?
- I guess, if they did.
At the end of the internship, or whenever your time with them is done, do you think you would have reached any personal goals you've had?
Just doing the internship alone was a goal I wanted, so yes that went well.
How do you balance school with work?
It's not bad, I spend as much time there working as if it were a studio class, and actually I spend less time in class. They let me work on my projects there, and I don't have as much stress involved here either.
