The Primitive Bone Tool Creation Weekend explores a vital but often overlooked aspect of ancestral technology: the skilled use of bone as a primary tool-making material. Long after stone tools had emerged, bone remained central to the survival of hunter-gatherer societies and indigenous cultures worldwide. Its versatility, strength, and workability allowed it to be shaped into everything from fine sewing needles to formidable hunting implements. This immersive weekend offers participants the opportunity to step into that lineage, learning how raw bone can be transformed into elegant, functional tools using simple hand techniques. Guided by experienced instructors, you will develop an understanding not only of how bone tools are made, but why they were so important—revealing the ingenuity and adaptability of our ancestors. The course is highly practical, relaxed in pace, and deeply rewarding, allowing time for careful craftsmanship, experimentation, and refinement.
