Take out a two day pass if you can (it works out cheaper) and stay nearby for the weekend. It takes this amount of time to get comfortably around all the marquees (one for each subject, i.e painting, textiles, ceramics, etc) and all the other events, concerts, etc spread over the eight acre site. The catering is pretty terrific too, but you can take your own picnic, which is encouraged too, to keep the costs down. You won't find an atmosphere like it anywhere else!

I'll definitely try to get there next year if I can. It would be really nice to see examples of the tutors' work that you mention. I've tried using the link and searching the site but it isn't easy and even when you find images they are often not very good quality. It looks like a wonderful event.
