Creative Artistic Business Opportunity Wanted

Opportunity Summary

My background is in teaching design and crafts, and have worked as a furniture designer/maker, but am currently stuck in a job that doesn't challenge my need to be creative. I'm fed up of all the usual franchises and am keen to develop a business that is innovative and creative, perhaps utilising advances in modern technology or IT for manufacturing purposes, perhaps developing recycled materials, I would be particularly keen to hear of innovative processes or techniques being used in a creative way to manufacture products in wood, stone glass etc. Though I must emphasise that finance is limited. Anyone out there with new techniques they have developed and would like to spread.
