About Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios

My name is Laura Barnes and I have my own studio and run all my mosaic courses from there. With 26 years experience in commercial mosaic crafts, including working with the National Trust and Crafts Council, I now offer tutoring to small groups. I am based in Todmorden, West Yorkshire and have a fantastic mix of mosaic materials and tools for any type of mosaic project. I run classes in mosaic, leaded stained glass and silver clay.
