My mother did stained glass for a little while and I used to help her when I was a little girl. You might think that she was crazy letting a little girl do stained glass, but it really wasn't that hard once you learned how to do it safely.
Doing a course or learning from someone who knows how to do it is definitely a good idea, because when you start there are a lot of little tricks and things that it would take you ages to figure out yourself and will save you a lot of time, effort and pain!
One thing my mother commented on more than once was how difficult it was to find good glass without paying a lot of money. There seemed to be a limited supply, hobbyists were competitive over the glass, and it is expensive to ship... plus back then there was no Internet to look for suppliers easily.
