Any other glass bead makers here? I've been taking classes for years, but never have managed to set up a serious home studio. I do have a minor burner torch sitting unused on a shelf. One of these days I'll figure out the ventilation issues that the teachers are so adamant about!
Meantime, I would love to share experiences about different teachers and workshops with others who agree (as a teacher once told me): "Once you've melted glass, you'll never be the same again."
