<p>Learn to cut glass for mosaic artwork at a March workshop at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita.</p>

MANZANITA The Hoffman Center will host a Precision Glass Cutting for Mosaic workshop by noted artist Jennifer Kuhns, set for Saturday and Sunday, March 8 and 9.

The class fee will be $200 per student and includes all materials. Hours will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, with lunch breaks both days.

Based in Grays Harbor (Wash.) County, Kuhns has been working in mosaic for 14 years, using almost exclusively reclaimed glass, mirror, tiles, windows, cupboard doors and tile backer board. She prefers glass for the available color palate and ease of cutting and shaping.

During the two-day class, she will address both introduction to glass cutting for beginners and advanced cutting for those with glass cutting experience.

Students will create a glass-on-glass mosaic project while practicing the use of a scoring tool and glass pliers. Advanced students will learn to cut curves and precision shapes. Included will be an introduction to the ring saw for cutting intricate, concave shapes.

Each student should bring: a glass-scoring tool, breaker-grozier pliers and running pliers. These can be purchased from a stained glass supply store or from the instructor if ordered by Saturday, Feb. 15. Contact Kuhns through her website: http://JKMosaic.com
