Knap-In
This stone tool maker event at will host flint knappers from all over the country. Flint knapping is one of man’s oldest crafts. Knapping is the shaping of stone through the process to make stone tools, such as but not limited to arrow heads. People have chipped rocks into tools and weapons for thousands of years. Native Americans knapped stone arrow and spear points, knife blades, scrapers, drills and many other tools and weapons. To volunteer for this event, contact Marsha Holley at mmholley@ua.edu.
