    it's not that hard, but a class might be useful, because you can try out the rather expensive equipment, before buying one. I did not take one, the number one reason was taht there wasn't any near me. Reason number two was that I already am a professional ceramicist, and thus know a lot of things about glass. So I bought the cheapes materials possible, just to see wether I like it, and I totally fell in love with it, so last week, I boght a semi pro torch, and more and more tools. I hope I will sell some of my beads in the future.
