Answer 1

The Meat Market Art  Centre (Melbourne) has an art glass studio or it did. Spent some time there some years ago and they had workshops open to public with training and support.

Answer 2

  Because of your condition, you really are talking about lamp working, since furnace working requires standing and handling much heavier stufff.  You might check in at www.hotglass.com and see what they list for melbourne.  www.arrowsprings.com is a major supplier in this area in the US and might have references online or via Contact Us in your area.
