Class Schedule

Due to some unforeseen setbacks, I will be reconfiguring my entire schedule. I will make good on all of my obligations to those of you who have supported me by signing up for classes. I will be sending out a blog post to my entire mailing list about the changes. I need to make in order to preserve my health and well-being.

Even when you sign up for a free class, you have to go through the registration process by clicking on the shopping cart icon after you register so the system can send you a Zoom Link!

If you ever find yourself lost in the woods and forget the knife you usually carry, you should learn as many ways of creating a sharp edge using natural materials as possible. The art of flint knapping is breaking certain types of rocks that only exist in various pockets around the country into stone knives and arrowheads. You can take some rocks, smash them on the ground, and get an edge to carve a Bow-drill notch, but you'll want something a little more precise eventually. Bone tools can be shaped into anything from the fishhook to spearpoint. That material is animal bone.

Throughout this class experience, I will teach you:

How to find animal bones

Processing them in a way that maximizes the amount of tools you can get from a single piece of bone.

This class will show you how to process and utilize the sinews, which can be used for anything from sewing to making a bowstring. In the context of this class, we will also show you how to attach a bone arrowhead to the arrow itself.

I will also teach you how to process evergreen tree sap into what is known as "pitch glue." It makes for fantastic waterproofing

a few tools you will learn to make are spears/arrowheads, needles, and knives, to name a few! Oh, and jewelry as well!

We will create a group chat in WhatsApp we can always contact each other for questions and show off the cool things you're making!
