If you’re interested in learning the primeval skills of making arrowheads (otherwise known as “flintknapping”), then come to Gap Mercantile Saturday), April 9 at 1:00 pm . Regional flintknapping teacher Donny Jones will be teaching basic flintknapping, including abrading stones and running flakes.
Weather permitting, the lessons will be held outdoors in the yard of Gap Mercantile. The lessons are free, and materials to knap that day will be provided. However, if you’d like, you can purchase your very own flintknapping kit containing the basic tools necessary for just $30. Participants are asked to bring lawn chairs and eye protection, and also gloves if desired.
All ages are invited to participate.
