The 10 Best Lessons & Workshops in Alaska, United States

September 20, 2021 Misti Hsu

Alaska is divided into five regions: far north, interior, southwest, south central, and inside passage. Although it takes a long time to see the entire state, you can travel through the regions by boat, car, bus, or plane. Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Aurora Dora

When It's Dark, I See the Lights! I relocated from Brazil to Alaska in 2001 and have been chasing and photographing Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) ever since. I never heard about the Northern Lights before I moved to Alaska. The first time I saw them it was love at first sight. That was it! From there on I knew what I wanted to do, I wanted to share the Auroras with the world and show them to everyone who doesn't have the opportunity to see the Northern lights. That's what I have been doing since. From long and cold nights photographing amazing auroras through the skies, and teaching northern lights photography workshops, to the summers explaining and showing the auroras to the ones that are not able to visit Alaska in the winters. I am a photographer in Alaska, living the dream life of many photographers. Many of my images were published by NASA, Space Weather Live, Washington Post, space.com, Nature Photographer Magazine, Society of Nature Photographers, just to name a few.

Like most of Talkeetna, the shop is plain and unassuming on the outside. The photos inside and a hidden gem. Dora has taken some of the most beautiful photos on the aurora, all with other interesting subjects in the picture. A float plane, an old truck, a mountain, or a tree all add to the incredible shapes and colors of the aurora displayed behind or above them. The metal prints are beautiful, but the photo versions are equally lovely.

Photographer Sean Kurdziolek specializes in Northern Lights photography capturing portraits under the Aurora! This is a rare opportunity to capture something incredibly special and unique. Book a session today and go home with an exquisite memory to hang on your wall. Sean Kurdziolek Photography is a family run business. Sean, Amanda, and their children live in beautiful North Pole, Alaska. They enjoy the winters that Alaska have to offer the most. The snow that falls and glistens in the sunlight, the sunrise and sunset within moments of each other, the people, the cold and all the winter activities that the Last Frontier have to offer. The Aurora Borealis is their favorite of all that this region has to offer. It is never the same Aurora. It is a spectacular phenomenon that brings out the best in people and they are so happy to help others experience this and capture a priceless moment to hang in their home for generations to enjoy.

Love The Folk School! Classes come in a wide variety from experiences that can be enjoyed in a couple of hours to more in-depth workshops. I loved the Spinning in Color workshop and learned so much I can continue to explore on my own! It's a treat to just stop in at the cabin to browse the library or purchase gifts. So many reasons to visit and participate in classes - I'll definitely be back.
