Our workshops are small, so reserve a place early. We have four student forges for Blacksmithing. Tinsmithing is limited to eight. Spinning is limited to six. Workshops generally cost around $125 – $150 per day depending on whether meals are included. Accommodation is $40 per night. Some materials may cost extra, too.
