Kim Traficante

My name is Kim and I’m addicted to creating and learning new ways to create. In 2018 I discovered handbuilding and metalsmithing. I took all the workshops I could. Which led to session classes then teaching hand building workshops. Now I am finally taking wheel classes at CIY and couldn’t be happier. 

I used to run a 1-hour photo lab and sell cameras. Well, digital tanked that. Since 2007 I’ve been driving a school bus. If I didn’t have this outlet, I think I’d go crazy!
