This event is now Sold out. 

Have you ever wanted to know how early man and prehistoric people made the stone tools they needed for survival? The art of flint knapping is a skill that has been forgotten since the end of the Bronze Age. Master technologist and archaeologist Karl Lee will demonstrate how to make arrowheads, spearheads, hand-axes and scrapers from brittle flint. Have a go at making your very own Paleolithic stone age tool.
