Apprentice-style workshops rebuilding the sandstone and celadon traditions the Angkor era ran on. Give it 14 days and you leave with something you built with your own hands to carry home.

Apprentice-style workshops rebuilding the sandstone and celadon traditions the Angkor era ran on. 18 other cities on this map teach craft & artisan too - the reason to pick this one over them is what's above.
Yes. It starts from zero, no experience needed. That is the whole point. The days are full but manageable.
Most people give it 14 days; the honest range is 3 to 45, and how far you take it is largely up to you. There is no certificate at the end. You come away with the skill itself. Expect it to be heritage revival, sculpture, Angkor.
Around $300 – $800 for the whole thing, about $39 a day, or ₹28,700 – ₹76,400 in rupees. That covers 2-week workshop block, tuition + materials. Flights and visas never are, and this is a researched estimate, not a quote. Rough estimate. Treat it as an order of magnitude, not a quote.
You can. The cheapest craft & artisan on the map is tailoring and pattern-making in Hoi An, Vietnam, from $250, against a $108/day median for the category. Whether the place is worth the difference is the real question.
Best across roughly 5 months of the year: nov-mar. Outside that window the season is against you, not the school, so it is worth planning the trip around it.
Nothing else in Cambodia on the map yet, but the nearest is professional thai cuisine in Bangkok, about 364 km away. If you are flying this far, it is close enough to stack onto the same trip.
