Flint Knapping/Arrowhead Crafting

The Primitive Arts is proud to offer a flintknapping workshop in which students will learn how to create stone 'arrowheads.' You'll learn from experienced teacher, Andrew Lee, and leave with your own work and pressure flaker. This class is open to ages 13+ with an adult guardian present for youth 17 and under. Limited spots, call to pre-register.

Participants 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 such as gloves and eye protection will be provided. No prior knowledge of or experience with flintknapping is necessary. This class is open to ages 13+ with an adult guardian present for youth 17 and under. Limited spots available. Call to pre-register, 706-695-2598. Andrew Lee, founder of "The Primitive Arts," is an artist with two decades of teaching experience.
