Educational Programs

Beginning March 1, 2009, I will be doing flintknapping educational programs and demos, including primitive skills related to flintknapping.  After 30 years of knapping and teaching I will be devoting more time to the teaching aspects of the art of flintknapping.

Flintknapping Demonstrations: $275

I offer Flintknapping demos to schools and various community organizations.  These demonstrations are conducted at your locale, tailored to a time frame that fits your particular need.  They are typically structured from a minimum of 45 minutes up to 2 hours and are designed to be interactive.  While demonstrating the various aspects of flintknapping, I will cover the history of the skill and art, allowing plenty of Q & A.  My display consists of an assemblage of stone tools and projectile points, some integrated with wood, antler and plant fiber accoutrements.  Also included are points and tools knapped from beautiful gem quality flint and jasper.  This accent to the visual aspect of the presentation is popular.

1-Day Location Workshops: $475

One day public workshops are done at your location and include the display of tools, projectile points and related items.  These, however, are very hands-on for individuals who want to experience one of the oldest skills and arts in the world.  Tools and materials are provided for those desiring hands-on learning, while others may sit down, observe and converse.   The workshop can be part of a community event or a stand-alone primitive skills education forum.

All workshops and demos are designed to make learning fun and engaging.
