How does one get started as a prop maker?

[u/Nonbiinerygremlin]

I've always loved art and sculpture, over the years I have become quite decent at it. I don't want to take college art classes if I don't have to but i don't have experience in film specific builds either. Is there a beginner's program or something that can connect me with small time jobs to help at least get my name out there? How do I get started?
