Thanks so much!
Glass is fun! If there is a studio near you, I recommend a class to see if you like it.
My husband surprised me with a starter setup, we are fortunate enough to have a garage to work in. Cutting glass means flying fragments and soldering creates toxic fumes, requiring a well-ventilated area. I think he spent around $300 total. There are examples of kits on here. I have not had to upgrade any of my supplies.
Good luck if you get into it, it’s tedious work but super rewarding.
Edit to add: I don’t shop from the linked site, I am in Canada and unsure of where to source my supplies now, as most stained glass is cast in the US, and I am shopping Canadian. I know Oceanside is from Mexico… If anyone has suggestions, I’m open.
