This question is ask of me more and more frequently by people from all walks of life. The answer is, ABSOLUTELY! While it’s true that some folks have more God-given ability at flint knapping than others, it’s also true that anyone can learn and practice basic flint knapping. I also believe that anyone with an interest in making arrowheads and stone tools, can enjoy it. There are tons of great resources out there to help you learn – books, DVD’s, You Tube videos, etc. There are also hands-on flint knapping classes where you can receive personal instruction on how to make arrowheads or a host of flint and obsidian tools.
I will be conducting such a class on Saturday, July 14, 2012, at my residence here outside of Portland, MI. The info is on my Education page. Feel free to contact me with any questions about this class or future classes.
