Cadiz, KY--The Janice Mason Art Museum will offer three adult classes beginning February 21.  Beginning Stained Glass, taught by Vicki Karrigan is a perennial favorite.  Participants will finish a project over the course of the six weeks, and will learn the basics of transferring designs, cutting, fitting and soldering using copper foil method.  The class meets Tuesday evenings from 5:30-7:30.  Tuition is $100 for members and $125 for nonmembers, which includes tools and some consumable materials.  The cost of glass is extra and can vary widely depending on the project selected by the student.
