Learn the process of shaping the stone using a hammer stone and a variety of techniques from knapping to pressure flaking to create your own arrowhead. Flintknapping was a vital skill in the Stone Age, it is the process of shaping stone into tools using a hammerstone to strike the stone. This workshop is designed for adults and children aged 12+.
