Primary concepts for making arrowheads and other edged stone tools

If you manage to perfect the art or flint knapping — you can upcycle any dense, broken glass into usefull knives, too.

Good day and welcome to The Grind and Bind Art Alchemist’s Guild.

An artist’s community for the kind of people who don’t just paint, they scavenge pigment from rotten leftovers. It’s for potters who dig their clay from riverbeds, for weavers who spin their own wool (and probably know the name of the sheep,) and it’s for digital artists who hack away at their creative endeavors.

All flavors are welcome to:

Show off finished pieces
Share your hand made or foraged materials
Ask for advice on anything art
Share articles and how-tos
Post art memes
Participate in weekly discussions and monthly challenges

How it goes:

Be kind

Do onto others with kindness, curiosity and civility.

Please include images

Remember to attribute other’s work, tag NSFW and Content Warnings if necessary, and describe with alt text for our differently sighted pals.

No AI*

This isn’t a community for AI *unless you’ve built it yourself and trained it on your own work.

Tags are Optional

[Advice Wanted] — “How do you…?” and “Help, something exploded.”

[Article] — Selt explanatory. Please include a webarchive link if a site asks for personal details or has a paywall.

[Discussion] — In the huddle of stained alchemists, debates and compliments are equally encouraged.

[Challenge] — Try something new or show off your niche skills. (Mods only)

On Self-Promotion

We all need to put food in the ferret bowl, but let’s not talk money here. If someone asks to buy something, please take it to DMs.

!artmarket@lemmy.world and !artshare@lemmy.world are geared toward self promotion if you want to cross-post.

This is a dark place.

Most art will leave you feeling inspired, maybe even joyful — if not a little thoughtful. Not this art.

This is a place of paint drinking gremlins with caustic burns on our hands and ink stains on our feet. A dark, damp basement smelling of bleach and burning and bioplastics, of empty wallets and ephemeral passions, of education, of science.

Most art makes people better, but this place can only make you worse, poorer, stained, and consumed by the craft.
