SUMMARY:Flintknapping with Andrew Lee
DESCRIPTION:A two-million-year-old habit is hard to break! Scientists estimate this is how long ago the first pieces of stone were crafted into tools. Many people are familiar with stone artifacts such as arrowheads created by traditional cultures in North America and around the world. The Primitive Arts is proud to offer a flintknapping workshop in which students will learn how to create stone projectile points. Each student will be given a large piece of stone and\, using a smooth cobble as a hammerstone\, shown how to remove a "flake"\, or small piece. Next\, they will be given a pressure flaker tool and instructed how to thin and shape their flakes into a finished arrowhead. Each student will have the opportunity to create several projectile points\, and they will take home their finished pieces and the pressure flaker\, as well as several additional flakes to complete on their own. Safety equipment will be provided. This class is suitable for ages thirteen and up\; students under eighteen must have an accompanying adult present at all times. No prior experience with flintknapping is necessary. Registration deadline: April 2\, 2026
