Participants come to spend a month or more joining in whatever is going on during that time.
Applicants first request a schedule for that year and determine which time period best suits their needs. Everyone should realize that much of the schedule is subject to change due to the scheduling of commission projects. Cobalt does not guarantee that a specific topic will be taught at a specific time. In addition, everyone is housed at Cobalt Studios and participates in the food program, which involves a rotating cooking schedule.
