Title: Asking Permission
Post by: Wolf Watcher on August 15, 2016, 12:37:46 pm
On the 17th along with my Game and Fish partner we will be doing a hands on flint knapping class with some young people at the annual Painted Rocks G&F classes.  The young people have a choice of many other things to learn.  We will be lucky to have enough time with each group to let them experience some basics.  I have made some tools, including flakers, Ishi sticks, abraders, hand pads, etc.  The  G&F have donors that will provide eye protection and gloves.  What I am asking permission for is to tell them about the Primitive Archer web site where they can be guests and learn about knapping from the members. Is that  OK or should I not mention it?  I have been doing the show and tell knapping thing off and on since the 70s.  So much information about knapping now on the internet that these young people have access to.  Joe

What would be wrong if you told
them that they could join up? ???
There are always new folks here learning. :)

I agree with Zuma. When I teach people how to knap, I tell them about the sites on the internet, and how much those sites can help.

Teach on, Joe, I don't see a problem. Except I'm pretty sure if they don't register they will not
be able to see any pictures posted.
