Knapping Artwork by Russell Thornberry

(some of Russell's art may be for sale at Russell Thornberry Originals)

A Texas transplant, Russell Thornberry now lives in ~~Alberta, Canada (can you believe it?!?)~~ Colorado, USA! Russell is a man of many talents - Musician, Songwriter, Author, Editor/Publisher, College Dean, and Flintknapper - just to name a few.

Russell became involve in the Puget Sound Knapper just a few years ago when he decided that Alberta needed another knap-in. With the encouragement of fellow Canadian, Barry Rogers and some support from PSK members from the lower 48, Russell has hosted three highly successful and very enjoyable knap-ins.

You can check out the reports of Russell's Knap-ins starting with the reports of 2015 (see Rocky Mountain Knap-in 2015, 2016 and Clearwater 2017).
