Palmer Folk School
What is a folk school?
Posted on January 13, 2019 by Jack Horner

Folk Schools are places for adult education that do not grant any academic degrees but rather teach the student specific skills. Although they used to be more commonly found in Nordic countries like Germany or Switzerland, they have become increasingly popular in America. The concept originated from the Danish writer, poet, philosopher, and pastor N. F. S. Grundtvig (1783–1872).

Some 150 years later and folk schools across the United States and around the world are flourishing. On any given day you can find classes for adults on many different subjects such as herbalism, pottery, bucket making, blacksmithing, bead making, painting, bread making, tea making, fermenting, coppersmithing, broom making, folk dancing, and sled making. And it doesn’t end there, as many topics as you can think of, there are classes available somewhere.

At Palmer Folk School we hope to bring the art of Creative Adult Learning back to south-central Alaska with in-person classes in the art of blacksmithing, coppersmithing, cooking, baking, felting, and more. We also plan to offer free online classes on our facebook page. These will be as varied as our interests run, one week may be how to make homemade kites, and the next might be a teacher from the community sharing their technique for the best biscuit recipe. Please look at our classes page for the upcoming scheduled live or online courses.

Patricia Neal:

For those of you who research family or history…it pays to be out there on a website so that people can find you.
Over the years I have been contacted by people connected to the Wrangell Garnet Ledge and the women who owned the company. I have met some of their relatives by email or phone. Some great friendships have come from that.
Today, I received a phone call from a gentleman who wanted to talk to me about the Dardanelles Amalgamated Mines in Arizona. One of Anna E. Durkee’s mines. He had a couple of stock documents he wanted to talk to me about. OMG! They are actual stock certificates! One document is signed by Anna E. Durkee! I recognize the other names on the documents.
I am dancing a jig! I have wanted to find something of her Arizona years other than newspaper clippings, deeds, etc. He is trading the documents for a copy of my book. How cool is that? Think I will send him some garnets, too. And that is a sign that I need to start working on Anna’s Arizona mining days.
It goes to prove what I keep telling people: Never give up. You will be contacted sometime out of the blue with part of what you are looking for and surprise you. The internet can be a very valuable resource.
How he found me:

Audubon Society Spruce Tree Seedling Giveaway starting May 25th. Be sure to click the link for details on the giveaway locations and dates.
In an attempt to offset the bird habitat and landscaping losses due to the Spruce Bark Beetle infestation in Anchorage, the Anchorage Audubon Society has purchased 10,000 White Spruce seedlings which we will GIVE AWAY FOR FREE beginning on May 25. We will need a LOT of help from volunteers in order to distribute these trees in the shortest possible window.

It will take years for these seedlings to provide the lush spruce habitat we have lost in Anchorage, but there’s an old saying in the forestry business: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is Now.”
Mr. Whitekeys

By Marin Sardy: The Edge of Every Day: Sketches of Schizophrenia

The debut of an important new literary voice: Marin Sardy’s extraordinarily affecting, fiercely intelligent memoir unflinchingly traces the path of the schizophrenia that runs in her family.

Against the starkly beautiful backdrop of Anchorage, Alaska, where the author grew up, Marin Sardy weaves a fearless account of the shapeless thief—the schizophrenia—that kept her mother immersed in a world of private delusion and later manifested in her brother, ultimately claiming his life.

Composed of exquisite, self-contained chapters that take us through three generations of this adventurous, artistic, and often haunted family, The Edge of Every Day draws in topics from neuroscience and evolution to the mythology and art rock to shape its brilliant inquiry into how the mind works. In the process, Sardy casts new light on the treatment of the mentally ill in our society. Through it all runs her blazing compassion and relentless curiosity, as her meditations takes us to the very edge of love and loss—and invite us to look at what comes after.

Please note this book is available through the Loussac and other local Libraries.
