While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $80 a day this sits a little under the $108 median for craft & artisan. It is cheaper than 11 of the 19 craft & artisan options mapped here.
- When to go
- Workable across 5 months of the year — Apr-Jun, Sep-Oct. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 10 days, but the honest range is 3 to 30. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
