I may be able to fit it into 2 hours if needed, especially if there are fewer participants. Weekends or evenings at the Co-Creative Center. I have done a handful of these workshops at the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, UMass Dartmouth, and the New Bedford Art Museum with great results.
