With A levels or similar and talent, you may be able to get a trainee or apprentice job in a design studio or craft workshop. Or you might want to use your skills to set up your own studio and sell your work.
Either way, a portfolio showing off your work and skills is really important. You may be able to get your first job in the industry without studying at college or university. However, most people will have done a degree or similar to gain experience and develop their talent.
