Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $206 a day this sits right at the $193 median for art, design & media. It is cheaper than 5 of the 12 art, design & media options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Netherlands
- 1 other option in Netherlands, starting with delftware ceramic painting in Delft from $500.
- When to go
- Runs year-round, so this one bends around your calendar rather than the other way about.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 4 days, but the honest range is 3 to 10. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
