Today, unimposed by the pressures of survival, modern lithic artists have taken flintknapping to the next level: art. In this inspiring and informative presentation Woody Blackwell demonstrates why he is revered as one of the best teachers of this art and perhaps the finest flintknapper of our time.
In this presentation Woody takes you on a step-by-step tour of flintknapping tools, the terminology, the techniques, the materials, and finally, how to bring it all together to create stone tools. He concludes with a virtuoso performance: using the tools and techniques described, Woody creates a modern-day masterpiece while you watch from several see-all camera angles.
