Ok I finally see the end in site:) my inheritance should be arriving next wednsday. Now i have taught myself how to do any craft i have ever done from clay to silversmithing and would love to do glass beads. I am not afraid to learn this on my own but any suggestions on a list of supplies i should get before i start? :)
Most suppliers have beginner kits (Arrow Springs, Frantz Glass, Sundance, Wale Apparatus). Go with an oxygen / propane setup, like a Minor Burner. A little more for the initial outlay, but much cheaper to operate. Also, it would be a good idea to take a class. It not only will save you time and frustration, but hopefully, a teacher can prevent you from picking up bad habits that will be hard to break later. Also, you will learn whether you really want to work with glass or not.
