Did you know that obsidian, this volcanic glass, isn't just beautiful but also incredibly useful? Formed from rapidly cooled lava, obsidian boasts a super sharp edge, making it ideal for knapping – the ancient art of shaping stone tools! #obsidian #knapping #flintknapping #arrowhead #ancienttechnology | Carley Schwoerer

I am infatuated with shaping obsidian and glass into works of art. For me, knapping is more than just a hobby - it's a meditation, a connection with the earth, and a celebration of those who came before us. As I am breaking stone and glass, it feels like I'm tapping into a creative energy that's been there long before us all. #obsidian #knapping #wildernessarts #stoneagecraft #earthart #crystalcollective #gemstone #rockhoundlife #knappingcommunity #glassart #obsidianjewelry #folkcraft #ancientar
