Dr. J.P. Higgins
Joe
Higgins began "breaking rock" ten years ago as an outlet from
the pressures of his thriving dental practice. Truly self taught, he began
his long journey of recovering the lost prehistoric past during a period
when few people knew anything about the art of knapping stone tools. Today,
he is a master knapping artisan who readily shares his hard-won knowledge
with others, encouraging them to take up this lost art. Master of both primitive
and modern knapping methods, his blades are true works of art wrought in
stone. Since retiring from dentistry in 1999, knapping related activities
have become his predominant pastime, with a healthy dose of fishing thrown
in for good measure.
