Flintknapping is a very old and entertaining craft that has practical uses throughout time, even in our modern age. It also can be one of the most rewarding and frustrating skills out there.
This class will cover all the basics you will need in terms of tools, safety, material selection, and technique.

We will go over how to remove useful tool flakes using stone and antler, through direct percussing (striking).
We will also cover how to shape the flakes into useful tools like spear/arrowheads, knife blades, drill points, and scrapers using pressure flaking.

Much of this class is hands on and we expect everyone to go home with finished pieces, little or big.
Our goal is for you to walk away with a firm understanding of how to flintknap on your own and overcome the obstacles you will face.

Thanks and hope to see you there!
