Crafted and locally produced items are selling better and better. If you decide to turn your hobby into your profession, there is certainly a market for successful sales. There are always other creative people who want to follow a workshop.

The often artisanal aspect of homemade stuff is also found online. Through websites like Etsy you can find producers from all over the world exhibiting and selling their original creations. This way they reach a wider target audience and boost their sales.

More and more people are buying locally and consciously, and they are willing to pay a whole lot more for it. Homemade jewelry, for example, is hipper than hip, unique and completely tailored to you. The same goes for interior decoration. We're increasingly ignoring the chains and shopping around the corner. This makes it easier for us to find out how products are produced, where the raw materials come from and who worked on them.
