I put my stained glass scraps (friend's leftovers) into a strong
plastic bag previously containing clay or chemicals and then hammer the bag.
If you use an open bowl you will have glass fragments flying all over the
place. You must cover the glass. I use some fingernail-sized pieces and
some more finely crushed. I tried to sort them out by colour, but
everything eventually ended up in the same box and I just fish out different
fragments as needed.

At what temp. do you fire your work with glass in it? You can use marbles
too can't you?

Perhaps you should also consider wearing gloves and goggles to be on the safe
side.

If you cover the glass in the bowl with water it will help keep glass
shards from flying out of it
