Very complete course, giving us an introduction to the history and theory around flint knapping followed by time to practice the different techniques we learned about. We came back home with an assortment of flint tools in various stages of finishing, and I'm looking forward to doing some more work on them :) Definitely recommended if you are new to flint knapping and want to gain some introductory insight and skills!
