FYI.... If you join your local rock/gem mineral club they do sponsor people to go to the school. Ours here in Tampa does it alot but you do have to come back and teach some classes with what you have learned. Bead making and silver smithing are some of the favorites.

Same with my Club www.kyanageo.org
That is how I found out about "William Holland" and "Wild Acres". http://www.wildacres.org/

My favorites were Gem Identification & Mineral Identification.
