Step back in time and explore one of humanity’s oldest survival skills! In this hands-on workshop, Tyson Arnold will guide you through the ancient art of flint knapping, a practice dating back over 100,000 years. You’ll learn how early people crafted stone tools and arrowheads that shaped civilizations and sustained communities.
This immersive class will focus on the pre-history of North America, introduce you to types of stone materials (including local sources), and cover the tools and techniques used to create sharp, functional tools from stone. Participants will have the opportunity to craft their own stone tool or arrowhead to take home.
In addition to the hands-on workshop, an archaeology display will be set up on site, showcasing real artifacts, stone tools, and points from various eras of North American prehistory. This is a rare opportunity to get up close to authentic pieces and deepen your understanding of our region’s ancient past.
Perfect for history buffs, survival enthusiasts, primitive skills fans, and anyone curious about ancient craftsmanship. No experience necessary—all materials are provided.
