I was demonstrating flintknapping at a party when I heard a very enthusiastic woman over my shoulder. She was very eager to try flintknapping for the first time. She is 70 years young and lives in France. She was a delightful student and after easily knocking off her first blade from a kaolin core that was sharp and ready as a perfect knife. She wasted no time moving on to antler work. I would like to travel to France to visit she and her husband, and of course Bernard Ginelli, the master knapper we both admire. (less info)
