Photographing glass objects is not easy, and yet, it's often the photograph that sells the piece.
If you're advertising classes online or selling your work on Ebay, Etsy or ArtFire, good photography is essential.
Here's what you will need:
1. A light tent. You can purchase one for about $100, or you can make your own relatively inexpensively. Read this article for 
step-by-step instructions on making your own light tent.
2. Light fixtures. You need at least one light for illuminating directly onto the object from above. If you have a desk lamp with an adjustable "neck", that will work. If you are getting too many shadows, or too much glare, you may need a set of lights to illuminate the sides of the box instead. Just make sure you're using "daylight" or "full spectrum" bulbs, and that all of your fixtures are equipped with the same type of bulb.
3. A Camera. Here's a great article by Steve Meltzer author of Photographing Arts, Crafts and Collectibles outlining cameras.
Even your point-and-shoot will work better once you have your light fixtures and tent set up. Good luck!
