you'll need a kiln to anneal your beads/marbles/whatever, but for a little while you can use either a fiber blanket or vermiculite to slowly cool off your work.
this does NOT anneal your beads...you'll still need to batch anneal everything you bench/blanket cooled eventually, especially if you plan on selling any of your work.
but you can start out using just a fiber blanket until you decide on whether you're going to continue in this hobby or not. your kiln is like the most expensive piece of equipment you'll buy (unless you buy a gtt torch lol).
