**The Signal: **One of the fastest-growing groups on Reddit is the subreddit r/electroforming, which has seen a 7x subscriber increase (to nearly 11k subs) over the past month.

Electroforming is a metal-forming process that looks like a [high school science experiment](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A295)...

...but don’t be fooled, you can create some amazing arts & crafts with it (e.g., metal sculptures and jewelry).

**The Opportunity:** Electroforming goes back centuries and has been practiced by notable figures such as [Thomas Editon and Michael Faraday](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A297). Today, the art echoes other "hipster"-inspired artisanal trades (e.g., [woodwork](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A298), [leatherwork](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A299)), which consumers value for their distinctive and non-mass produced look. Opportunities around electroforming include: 1) creating [electroforming kits](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A300); 2) selling electroform [art and jewelry](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A301); 3) building an audience through [how-to guides](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A302) -- and then selling people your kits and art.
