Hello Flintknappers and Future Flintknappers,
The Archaeological Society of Alberta - Calgary Centre is currently planning an introduction to flintknapping and stone tools workshop on the weekend of March 23/24 at Mount Royal University.
We are still finalizing details but expect that it will be from 9 am to 3 pm both days and the costs will be $35 for one day or $50 for both. Everything you are going to need will be provided, including raw material (obsidian), billets and pressure flakers, leather gloves, safety glasses and lunch.
If you are interested in attending, please send an email to info@arkycalgary.com. If you know anyone who might be interested, please pass this on. If you have already contacted me, I will have you signed up already.
More details will be sent out shortly to those who are interested.
