Hello artisty/crafty people!

Hello all.

Just scrolled down the page and found you all lurking down here!

I put a post in the earning a living section but feel it is probably better here. What are the logistics of selling things I make in France? I make lots of things, mainly welded steel sculptures but also lots of sculptural furniture and more recently guitars and tongue drums. I don't do it for a living but enjoy it and have had commisions in the UK. Would I have to be registered as anything in order to sell bits and bobs I make? I'm just in the process of buying in Northern France and will hopefully be spending 6 months of the year there. With some luck I will be able to get a little workshop together and start producing things.

I had my own business for a couple of years in Portugal painting very big Murals, mainly in bars and nightclubs at the time but also in private properties, any call for this sort of thing in France?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Mat.
