Horseshoe Bend Knappers

Located on the Horseshoe Bend of the Brazos River about 12 miles south of Weatherford, Texas, the Horseshoe Bend Knappers is an informal club comprised primarily of knapping hobbyists.

We meet as a group once per month on average and usually have anywhere from 10-20 amateur knappers show up. We also have an informal meet once or twice weekly for those who want to come and break rock and get pointers.

There are people in this group who are at all levels of skill - from beginner to some really phenomenal stone artisans who are extremely helpful, friendly, and supportive.

There is much camaraderie and sharing of knapping hints and techniques. There is also an abundant supply of rock and knapping tools for sale. We have several tons of stone on site. Chances are we have the stone you want, or know where to get it.

One thing is true for all who attend, and that is a shared love for fun that can be had by “breaking rock” with others who like to do the same.

Come join us and have some fun while you learn the art of making stone tools.
