A lot of skills qualify as old school. Many could even be called primitive. But only a few can truly be considered ancient. Flintknapping is one of those skills. Other than mastery of fire, there is no skill older than making stone tools. Taking rock and fashioning it into knives, axes, arrowheads, spearpoints, and more is a skill so ancient it reaches back into the farthest eons of history and precedes humans as we know ourselves today. But like many other skills this old, it has a steep learning curve. Our ancestors passed it down from generation to generation, with a master teaching a student hands-on, around a campfire. Millenia may have passed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have the same experience. In this full weekend workshop, master instructor Jeff Gottlieb will meet you at whatever skill level you are to show you the essentials of how to make your own stone tools.
