Even Fred Flintstone Would Be Proud Of
I f you've ever wanted to try your hand at making razor-sharp arrow heads, spears, knives, jewellery,
scrapers, axe heads, blades or other ancient flint knapped artifacts just like your ancestors -- then this is THE
best flint knapping course you'll find ANYWHERE in the UK.
Here's why...
On this one day hands-on course, held within Kentish woodland, you'll be taken back through the mists of time
with Will Lord, the UK's TOP flint knapping expert.
With over 30 years experience of flint knapping, bow making, arrow making and buckskins he'll show you the long
lost flint knapping SECRETS of our ancestors.
Not
only will you be shown HOW to flint knap, you'll also be using Antler hammers, quartzite pebbles, copper, leather
and flint to make your OWN tools.
With one-on-one guidance and tuition from Will, you'll soon be turning out the same implements your prehistoric
ancestors relied on for their very survival.
Here's just some of the things you'll discover on this course:
How to select the right type of flint for tool making. Get this WRONG and
you'll be left with a pile of useless flint chippings.
How to get the best edge and shape for cutting and pointed
implements.
We'll show you quick and easy ways to MASTER the techniques of "pressure
flaking", "notching", "percussion flaking", "stemming" "indirect percussion" and "fluting".
We will demonstrate why blows sometimes work and sometimes a slight error
can make things fall to pieces.
On this course you will find the 'lost' skill to knap your own hand axe, arrowhead or blade cores. Imagine taking home your own piece of 'ancient' history.
Because
Will is in such demand all over the UK, we've been very fortunate and privileged to get him down for a few days
only.
The number of people on this course will be kept SMALL, as it's the best way to learn flintknapping skills.
Small groups are better because we want you to get as much one-to-one time and guidance from Will as
possible.
Lost for that memorable gift, why not give someone an experience they will never forget
knapping their own stone tools in a fantastic woodland environment.
Now don't delay... get your booking form to us as soon as possible and don't
pass up this chance to learn from the UK's TOP flintknapping expert!
Book NOW... and we'll see you in the woods.
We will
provide all the materials you will need for your day knapping your own flint artifact.
