An Introduction to Flint-Knapping with The Prehistoric Workshop:

Have you ever wondered what tools our prehistoric ancestors used? Join The Prehistoric Workshop for a 2.5 hour workshop introducing you to flint-knapping. In this session you will learn the basic principles of how to shape a piece of flint into a beautiful tool as we explore the qualities and unique properties of flint stone. As well as working with your own piece of flint, you will get to handle genuine flint artefacts made thousands of years ago. You will go home with your worked flint, and more confidence to try again. 


All safety equipment, materials and expert guidance is provided. This session is suitable for all abilities. Children over the age of 8 can book but must be accompanied by an adult who has also booked a ticket. Closed/robust shoes should be worn. Please do not bring dogs to the session.
