My name is Laura Barnes and I have my own studio in an original mill warehouse in the moor town of Todmorden, West Yorkshire. I run all my craft courses from here and create my animal portrait commissions. With 26 years experience in commercial mosaic and other crafts, including working with the National Trust and Crafts Council, I now offer tutoring to small groups. I have a fantastic mix of materials and tools and a very spacious workshop where I run classes in mosaic, leaded stained glass and willow weaving all year round.
"An excellent 2 day stained glass course. Laura was so helpful and knowledgeable she made the whole process seem very doable for a complete beginner. I’ve got a fantastic end result and the whole experience was so much better than I expected!
Thank you"

"Thoroughly enjoyable full day mosaic course. Laura was a very patient teacher and I was surprised at what we achieved in the time. I'll definitely be going back for other courses."

"Had a fantastic afternoon learning this craft. Laura was a great teacher, patient and encouraging.
My family and friends were surprised at my artistic achievement and had to check the photos out.
My mosaic will be on display for all to see.
This has been a great start for my crafting endeavours "
