art and craft business

Post Reply New Topic

so those of you who read my earlier post know that i was kicked out of my job
i dont want to work now onwards

since i was working for a NGO helping underprivilaged but still they decided to kick me out

i want to learn art and craft and do my own business..

any aspie doing this

what are the flaws of this business?

Don't they have micro-loans or something like that in India?

Many people create arts and crafts, and sell them. Sometimes in markets, sometimes out in the street. Once they establish capital, they open stores.

Lots of competition. Your stuff has to be really superior to others'. You have to really assess what people really like.

If you could make a living out of it--why not? Just don't harass tourists LOL (just kidding!)

Selling crafts requires "people skills." You could be an Aspie and still have "people skills." Maybe you could talk about the "history" of what you've created--in the sense of where it came from (Indian tradition; Turkish tradition, whatever).

You have to make a living, somehow.

If you can find someone to sell your stuff for you, even better. Just make quality items and they will sell.

The crying lady in a sari is so poignant. She's a beautiful lady.

I hope you succeed in your endeavor.

firstly i will have to invest money learn some craft
then buy raw materials
get down to doing it
and then market it

im not that good at art and craft
lets see if after training under someone i can improve

I guess you could be an apprentice.

What do you REALLY like to do?

good question
i need to ponder
