Both these kinds of glass-working can produce excellent results (or cheesy, depending on where you go, as I said above; beware the cheap ease of its shiny allure); but flameworking tends to be a solitary pursuit, in a small studio, and hot glass requires a large, noisy workspace with plenty of access to fresh air and loads of propane or other gas to run the equipment.

reesetee commented on the word flameworking
In glassmaking, this is the technique of forming objects from rods and tubes of glass that become soft and easily manipulated when heated in a flame. The source of the flame was once an oil or paraffin lamp used with foot-powered bellows; today, glassworkers use gas-fueled torches.
