Cooking/Pastry Classes in VA Reasonably Priced?

I am looking to take a series of cooking/pastry classes that are reasonably priced. I have found some classes, but they seem very expensive. Any recs?

      I take a lot of cooking and baking classes at Fairfax County and have not been disapointed in any of them over the years. They are all about $70-$100 depending on the length.

        Sur La Table in Arlington has some pretty inexpensive cooking and baking classes:

        Most are under $100.

          This article is several years old, but might provide some good leads:

          I've taken classes through the Arlington Public School system (of mixed quality) in sushi-making and Thai cooking and my boyfriend has taken a Senegalese cooking class. Prices are very reasonable and classes are open to Arlington and non-Arlington residents (fees are slightly higher for non-residents). Classes are conveniently located in Clarendon near the metro.

            That is expensive! Unless your drinking a LOT of wine during class!
            Try these:
