Hello Now What Show Listeners! I am your host, Amber Christian, Editor of Handmade Seller Magazine. Today we welcome John Wright from The Wright Scraps.
This interview features John, co-owner of The Wright Scraps. John is an artisan who creates unique sculptures called "Gronks" from recycled industrial materials like scrap metal and parts from agricultural machinery. We talk about the journey bringing Gronks to life- from tinkering in his spare time to starting to sell these unique creations. We talk about an interesting process used to raise awareness and drive custom orders for the product.
