| Great For Beginners
| 
|
Pros : Has all the supplies (except the tank of gas, obviously) to start working right away. I used this kit to start beadmaking; I'm not very good at it yet, but it's a lot of fun, and I only burnt myself once.
|
Cons : The kit doesn't have an instructional book or DVD, which would really be helpful. The torch head is sensitive and sometimes goes out.
|
| Other Thoughts : It's a great starter kit for those looking to experiment and try it out, like myself. |
| Great Kit to Start

| very easy
|
|
Pros : I purchased this kit last year and without any help...was able to make my own beads. It is very easy to learn and a lot of fun.
|
Cons :

| Hot Head Bead Making Kit
|
|
Pros : It's a good kit for beginners. Everything you need to get started to see if you like flameworking.
|
Cons : I didn't like the glasses. I would have preferred the kit to include Didymium glasses. The glasses that come with the kit are too dark.

| Don't Be Intimidated By Flameworking With This Gr
|
|
Pros : My mom bought me the Hot Head Bead Making Kit for Christmas the year I had my son. I was impressed that the kit had everything included except the MAPP gas. I felt confident that I could, for a fairly low investment from my mom, create unique glass beads literally right out of the box!
|
Cons : I was slightly intimidated to set up my glass-bead making space. I was overly worried with safety; however the folks at Delphi were exceedingly helpful. One con of the Hot Head Kit is that it doesn't come with a lot of instruction.
|
| Other Thoughts : If you are at all nervous about using the torch for the first time, purchase a good instructional video (or a book for beginner flameworking) from Delphi to help you get started. I tried getting a book or video from the library, but there wasn't much available that suited my needs as a beginner.
I would also urge buyers of the Hot Head Bead Making Kit to take a class if possible. Delphi's Lansing in-house instructors are technically knowledgeable and very impressive as instructors! One class had me taking my new bead making craft much further than I anticipated going. |
| GREAT STARTER SET
|
|
Pros : Everything you need to get started to making beautiful beads, great starter kit
|
Cons : only con is you should be able to choose what coe you would like in the starter kit,
