Controlled Chaos: Shaping a Glass Octopus

Creating small pieces of art from glass is generally called lampworking. Unlike "glass blowing," you're not inflating any cavities. These works of art are typically very small and are commonly beads.

A basic bead making kit can be found on Amazon or at your local seller for under $100. This should include everything you would need to get started, except a canister of gas (this can be purchased at your local hardware store). These bead making kits allow you to start experimenting with hot glass at home, by making decorative beads.
