Look for a local craft workshop. may tourist places offer places for
trainees to get started on this sort of thing, of course doing this for a
company means you share any profit, but on the plus side no investment in
equipment!

I'm looking for a new, challenging, yet achievable pastime to hopefully

very beneficial. Has anyone given it a bash? If so, what degree of
difficulty does it score?

I had a bit of a look at this - I think the main thing is having all the
gas
kit to get hot enough to melt the glass (lampworking), and then learning
the
techniques. You can do 'glass fusing' with a microwave (see Youtube) -
but
that's not hot enough to blow the glass.

Depends how dedicated you are, I suppose. Not enough (and a lack of
somewhere to do it), in my case.
