Maker's bio

My name is Laura Barnes and I have my own studio and run all my craft courses from there. 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 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 willow weaving.

Gill Robinson reviewed: Willow Hares, Bees & Stag heads

"What a wonderful day making a willow hare. Laura was patient and kind, helpful and generous with her time. I can't recommend this course and Laura as a tutor enough. I am so pleased with my finished hare. I absolutely love him. Thank you so much ❤️"

" Thank you so much for your review... it was a great day all round. Wallace is fabulous! I really appreciate the picture of him in his forever home with Jax. Thanks again, Laura. "

Kat reviewed: Two day Leaded Stained Glass panel making.

"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. I was really pleased with what I was helped to achieve in a short space of time and am definitely inspired to want to do more stained glass work! Thank you!! "

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 "
