For 40 years, Robert has been turning stone into tools, using both the aboriginal approach and 21st century conveniences in developing his skill as a flintknapper. He has taught hundreds of students to flint knap, keeping an ancient skill alive. Robert’s work has been published in several journals. He currently runs his own flintknapping workshop and studio.
