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.
The Opportunity: Electroforming goes back centuries and has been practiced by notable figures such as Thomas Editon and Michael Faraday. Today, the art echoes other "hipster"-inspired artisanal trades (e.g., woodwork, leatherwork), which consumers value for their distinctive and non-mass produced look. Opportunities around electroforming include: 1) creating electroforming kits; 2) selling electroform art and jewelry; 3) building an audience through how-to guides -- and then selling people your kits and art.
