Festival of Stuff: Flint-Knapping with Karl Lee
In this Masterclass, participants learnt to make primitive utility tools such as hand-axes, scrapers and arrowheads from brittle flint with master flint-knapper, primitive technologist and archaeologist Karl Lee.
Karl started our workshop with a demonstration of the techniques and processes involved in flint-knapping, before setting participants the task of making their own flint tools using ancient tools such as hammer stones. He has over 20 years of experience of teaching the manufacture and use of stone (lithic), bone and wooden tools.
