On the average, how much should an introductory glassworking course
cost?

If you are fortunate, your local community college has classes on
either the Continuing Education or the College Credit level. The
reason I say lucky is that these courses are usually semester-length
courses meeting a couple of times a week. And with in-district
tuition rates, you are looking at $75 - @250 plus materials.

The one downside is the class may have up to 30 students, though thats
probably the exception. Classes at a studio generally have 2 - 10
students.

Good luck,

My experience is that these kinds of classes are run by former
students, or art teachers with little or no background to teach SG.

My experience is different. In the Dallas area, the continuing education
courses of the community college system run for several weeks one evening a
week and are usually taught by people working with stained glass in their
own studios, but are taught in classrooms, not in their studios.
