Accessible Sliding Scale Sliding

This five-week course is valued at $350. Craft Lake City is committed to keeping programs accessible, so registration fees are offered on a sliding scale starting at $50. Participants can choose the level that works best for them: $50 (scholarship rate), $100 (standard), up to $300 (artisan supporter).

Paying at the supporter level helps Craft Lake City continue offering accessible pricing for this and other community programs. If the minimum fee still presents a barrier, reach out to Craft Lake City at info@craftlakecity.com.
