This is the course for you if you want to experience the complete process of making leaded stained glass work. Over two days you will learn the basics of leaded stained glass panel work.

"Good introduction to different stages of the stained glass making process. Laura is knowledgeable and supportive and her studio space, including the building it’s in, is amazing.

Sara from Liverpool reviewed: Two day Leaded Stained Glass panel making.

"We attended the two day stained glass course this month, Aug 2023. Laura is a fantastic tutor. We both received really good one-to-one instruction & support. The pace of the course was just right, not too fast that we felt rushed, with Laura keeping us total beginners on track to complete our pieces on time. Totally recommend this course. Sara from Liverpool. "

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

" Hello Sara, I was showing your work to new students today and they loved it, too! Really good choice of colour to suit the design. Thank you so much for your review, it means a lot to me. Laura "

Hannah reviewed: Two day Leaded Stained Glass panel making.

"I completed the 2 day leaded stain glass course with Laura this weekend and loved every minute! It was a very small class which was perfect as meant that Laura was always on hand to help and guide me (with the patience of a saint!). The process was broken down and explained really well, it was amazing to start with a simple drawing and see that turn into something so lovely. As someone who isn’t very arty at all, or confident when learning new things, it was definitely a plus to be taught by someone so supportive and encouraging. The course made me want to put the skills I’ve learned to use and try to make something on my own so thank you! "

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

" Hello Hannah! Thank you so much for your review. I had complete faith in you! It's part of my job to understand how people learn in an environment that's completely new. Learning a whole new skill in 2 days is a real challenge and you worked your way through it to the finished art work. That little boat on choppy seas is charming and well made, so very well done. Come again any time. Laura. "

Helen Williams reviewed: Two day Leaded Stained Glass panel making.

"Amazing course and amazing teacher. The course was very relaxed and a lot of information provided starting us on a path to enjoy making stain glass at home. We really got that one on one tuition - which you don’t get with other courses, Laura always limits her class numbers to 4 which is brilliant. Couldn’t recommend enough - absolutely loved it. "

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

" Thank you! I really enjoyed teaching you all, and loved the finished art work. If you want any advice do let me know. Keep up the practice of glass cutting. You are both welcome any time and outdoor mosaic would be a great new skill, too. I hope you got home to Wales safe and sound. Laura. "

Elaine Beesley reviewed: Two day Leaded Stained Glass panel making.

"Superb two days spent making a stained-glass window, which will take pride of place hanging in my house. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and a wonderful teacher. I certainly feel I now possess the confidence to go it alone and start making my own stained-glass in my own workshop."

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

" It's quite a learning curve and your enthusiasm showed throughout. You had a really wonderful design and finished piece. Come again any time! Laura. "

Bib reviewed: Two day Leaded Stained Glass panel making.

"Loved everything about this 2 day stained glass course. Created something that I'm really chuffed with that's now hanging in our house. Laura is an amazing tutor. Very kind, fun & patient ! Learned a lot and her own work is beautiful. Would definitely recommend this course and Todmorden x"

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

" What lovely feedback! I think stained glass craft really suits you. The piece you made reminds me of church windows with the intensity of colours you chose. I'm delighted you enjoyed Todmorden, it's a special place. You've cheered me up on a rainy morning! Thank you."

John F reviewed: Two day Leaded Stained Glass panel making.

"We really enjoyed our two days with Laura and the pieces we created are now proudly hanging in our windows at home. Would happily recommend the course, and as an added bonus, Todmorden is a lovely place to spend a weekend."

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

" Thank you for your review, John! It was a very creative weekend and the finished work is wonderful. Well done both of you. So glad you got to see Todmorden and our local scene. Come again any time. "

Fiona Carmichael reviewed: Painting for Stained Glass and Panel Making Weekend

"What a fabulous course. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable tutors who were very encouraging. We had done leaded work before but still learnt new techniques which we will put into practice. Deborah who lead the painting aspect is full of ideas and very patient. Laura also offers mosaic days so will most likely be back. Also on a Saturday fab food market in Todmorden to get lunch supplies."

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

" We were very happy to tutor you through the weekend. Your enthusiasm and humor was a delight. The work you both produced is excellent. Do keep practicing! Laura."

Frank bussy reviewed: Two day Leaded Stained Glass panel making.

"I wanted to have a go at stained glass leading for years. Laura’s studio has everything all the tools and loads of glass colour chooses. Great advice and design help. I was walking on air when we finished. Great building too. Worth the money and 2 days flew by."

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

" I'm so glad you think so. You really understood the process and I'm glad you got to see my friend's church stained glass studio next door. The painting stained glass weekend is coming up if you'd like to learn more about this craft/art. Thank you!"
