Atlatl and Darts:The Atlatl and Darts workshop consists of four hours of instruction total, in which students will construct an atlatl and two darts. Students will be given a short piece of river cane and shown how to create a hook or loop in one end that can be used to launch their darts. Next, students will create darts from two pieces of river cane, approximately 60” long. On one end of the cane, they will be shown how to create a nock in the tip, and then add fletching in order to stabilize the dart while in flight. Last, students will take their atlatls and darts to an outdoor space where they can experience throwing darts for accuracy, distance, and fun. Each student will take home their completed atlatl and two darts. This class is suitable for ages ten and up; students under eighteen must have an accompanying adult present at all times. No prior knowledge of, or experience with, the atlatl and darts is necessary. Admission to the class is $80 each plus $20 materials fee/student, and includes admission to the Foxfire Museum.
