I have tried to teach myself flintknapping and now have an impressive pile of very sharp gravel - but nothing looking anything like an arrowhead. I need some one-on-one time with someone who knows what they are doing. I know there is a knap in at Glass Butte - what are the dates? Are there other scheduled events out there within within a day's drive of the Willamette Valley? I need to know soon - I need to schedule time off for next year soon. Anyone out there within 100 miles or so of Canby, OR who might be willing to provide some instruction? Willing to barter or pay a reasonable fee. Warning: I work slow but quality is usually pretty poor. ;D Thanks all. Great site.

Glass Buttes is the last week of March. Come join our tribe! OOOGABOOOGGGGAAAA!!!! ;D

Cool! Thanks. Just to be clear - is that the last full week of March? 3/22 - 3/28? Be my luck to make the wrong assumption and show up to find only where you guys had bedded down. I'll be there.

Its the full week to the first weekend in April. But don't quote me on that! Be prepared from weather that is nice to absolute freezing conditions, snow, rain and other weather has occurred. One minute its nice the next its snowing! Temps at night often drop into sub freezing temps.

Thanks. I'll be sure to wear my thermal loincloth - priority one: keep the boys warm. ;D

Trust me! At time you cant get the boys close enough to the fire!!! :o
