#Microblog Monday 443: Cool Vacation Idea
Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

I knew people built vacations around cooking school experiences. One of our favourite restaurants in London built a cooking school, and we’d try it for a day during a longer trip. But I feel pretty confident in my ability to follow a recipe from afar, so we’ve never explored the whole spend-a-day-cooking-somewhere-interesting thing.
But I just found this — building a vacation around a class with an artist. So you can try out a new skill and make something beautiful while exploring somewhere interesting. I looked at the jewelry-making options because I would love to learn. (Like this one!) Or you can choose the place and then see which artists are there.
I love this idea. What would you learn?

Very cool! As much as I would like to explore a different country, I don’t think I could turn down an opportunity to learn about quilting from women in Gee’s Bend. Alabama it is!
Oooh, that sounds interesting. I feel like my favorite things to learn in vacation are cooking and literary history. And weird stuff. I am daydreaming of travel!
I am going to take a metalsmithing class at the university near my this summer. I don’t know that a vacation around that sort of thing would be my preference – I think I’d rather have a close-by reference, in case I needed more help later. This is based on my previous experience with a stained glass class I took – I returned to the studio for months to make the project that I wanted to do.
