Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $267 a day this sits near the top of the range, against a $108 median for craft & artisan. It is cheaper than 1 of the 19 craft & artisan options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in United States
- 4 other options in United States, starting with sourdough and bread baking in San Francisco from $500.
- When to go
- Workable across 4 months of the year — Jun-Sep. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 12 days, but the honest range is 6 to 30. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
