Although I did have another beginner show me how to do it the first time, I didn't take my first class until I'd been lampworking for ten years, and professionally for two. It's doable. If you find you love it and want to pursue it, a class will get you a lot further a lot faster.

Here's something I've posted on my website that might help: http://www.beadwife.com/lampworking.tpl
Some of my supplier/info/pretty stuff links (I *really* need to update this, but it's a start):

Another awesome info source that you might enjoy: http://lampworkglassbeads.com/
And do check out www.lampworketc.com... you'll find a lot of lampworkers and a TON of information and advice there!
Good luck, and have fun!

I am interested in taking a lampworking class at a local beadstore. I've always been fascinated with both glass and beads...so I think it's a great possible hobby for me.
The class I'm going to take is a beginner's course, which is 8-9 hours long. I don't know of anyone else in the area that gives intermediate or advanced classes at all. I'm kind of wondering if it's possible to get into this hobby if there are no local teachers to help me advance. And I don't think I can afford to buy the torch, kiln, etc right now.
Is there a way to learn this without local support? (books, videos, etc that might help)
