Calling all talented artists with welding skills and a home workshop. It's time to start profiting from your talents by starting a business that produces iron art sculptures. The raw materials required for the sculptures can be purchased from metal recycling facilities for low or no cost. Once completed, the sculptures can be marketed directly to art-loving consumers and art collectors by setting up a sales kiosk on weekends at malls and other community gathering places. Additionally, the iron sculptures can be featured and sold online and at local art galleries. Furthermore, be sure to craft iron sculptures that have functional value such as weather vanes, coat racks and room partitions.
