View Full Version : Flint Knapping with the Lords Bushmoot 2008
Previous years have seen either John Lord or his son Will Lord run superb flint knapping workshops at the BCUK Bushmoots, this year is going to be a slightly different......
Because this years Bushmoot we will have John, Val and Will Lord! :D
John and Val Lord whom you may recognise from flint knapping scenes in numerous TV programs including the TV series Ray Mears 'Bushcraft' on BBC2 and as the instructor of the Primitive Technology & Ancient Skills courses at Woodlore.

Will Lord who has also made numerous TV appearances and runs 'beyond 2000BC' (http://www.beyond2000bc.co.uk/)

On the Saturday (2nd Aug):
Will Lord will be running an all day flint knapping workshop, with places for 10 people. (5 places have already been taken by the Full members who had first call, so 5 spaces remain)
On the Sunday (3rd Aug):
John and Will Lord will be running an all day flint knapping workshop, with places for
20 people. (5 places have already been taken by the Full members who had first call, so 15 spaces remain)
There will be a small additional charge of £15 per person to attend the flintknapping workshops, this covers the costs of materials and travel expenses as the Lords live at the other end of the country and as there is no natural flint near the moot site they will be bringing it all with them!
Payment must be made in cash to the Lords on the day
Please let us know as soon as possible if you wish to attend, due to the limited class size places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. Please do not put in a request unless you are certain you will be in attendance.
Requests for a place should be made on this thread, along with a PM to myself with your details, name + contact number
Some of the Lords work:

I probably don't need to say this but I was taught by John and Val Lord a while ago and they are amazing. The amount of knowledge and skill they possess is unbelievable.

And made everybody attending this years Moot slightly nervous about a creepy guy who stalks the woods at night! :eek:
Looking forward to the Sunday, a right motley bunch of ne'er-do-wells amongst that list! :rolleyes: It'll be like being back at school again! :D

And made everybody attending this years Moot slightly nervous about a creepy guy who stalks the woods at night! :eek:I can assure you I don't stalk during the night and don't make a habbit of walking around at night for that matter :p Its just an alias I picked up many years ago. Although I am big and scary! :yikes:
I too am looking forward to trying flint knapping, I've never given it a go before! :o
If there is enough interest, we have another ten places available for the Monday with Will Lord, first come first served.
Please don’t change days if you are booked for the Saturday or Sunday, Its confusing keeping track of it all as it is, this extra day is only being put on because Will is staying on for the Monday anyway and not everyone made it onto the Sat/Sun who wanted to
I'm amazed there hasn't been more interest on this one. An extra day of tuition. I'll jump in if nobody goes for it, I reckon I'd quite enjoy it. I'll wait till the day though and if there are places going spare I may join in for a second day. Hopefully this post will bump it up and bring it to the attention of some people who missed out.
The is a space available on the Saturday, as somone has been forced to pull out, first come first served.
we also still have 10 places available for the monday

I am well envious of everyone who is doing this. I did a one hour session with Will at the big green gathering last year and it was great, just needed another 7 hours and a big pile of flint to get to grips with it. I thought these places would book up in minutes.
Me again, can you put Kurt down for Monday, PM on the way!
UPDATE
The place on Saturday is gone
we now have another place available on the Sunday
we have 9 places remaining on the Monday
Stuart can you count me in with Flintknapping with the Lords on Sunday or if Sunday is full on Monday?
Thanks
Nomade
UPDATE
The place on Sunday is gone
we now have another place available on the Saturday
we have 8 places remaining on the Monday
