I guess it depends on where you live, and where you're planning on traveling.

I would think that historical places such as Colonial Williamsburg would have some local handicrafts and classes since they're a living museum of sorts. I think any place that is a living museum would have things like that available. Of course, I'm sure they can't go indepth into a craft, but just the basics. That might be just enough to get someone hooked.

I remember traveling through Berea, Kentucky. There's a college there, and they have quite a few handicrafts made by the students there, and I believe they taught some classes. Might be a place to look, if you're in that neck of the woods.
