The School of Classical Woodcarving is located just a few miles from San Francisco. Why not make a family vacation out of your visit?
The school is situated in San Rafael, at the home of Ian Agrell. We are only 20 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge and about 40 minutes from downtown San Francisco. There is an airport shuttle to the area where there are a number of local hotels to choose from. We will assist you in finding a hotel and if you wish, collect you in the morning and return you in the evening. Please remember this is a popular area, so book your accommodation in good time.
We have a number of students who have recommended using Airbnb. Though we cannot be held responsible for any accommodation issues wherever you stay, Airbnb can be both reliable and affordable. We’ve seen rooms (or couches?) for as little as $10 a night. Click here for a list of available Airbnb accommodations in San Rafael.
