Well, here it is - my finished studio (which also doubles up as the laundry LOL!), but we've all got to start somewhere!

Adequate ventilation is vitally important as the torch, glass and metals used to make beads give off potentially health threatening fumes!  Gotta look after your lungs!

This is my torch - a GTT Cricket, which is fuelled by propane gas and an oxygen concentrator.  My kiln, a Paragon SC-2, is used for annealling beads to remove stresses in the glass, making them stronger and more durable. 

And below is my glass stash and frit (tiny fragments of glass for decorating beads)!  I use Effetre, CiM, Vetrofond, Lauscha and Double Helix glass in the making of my beads.
