BECOMING A MEMBER

Membership in the Lithic Artists Guild is an honor that is offered to the best artists of the modern Flintknapping movement. In order to earn membership a new candidate must either be sponsored by an existing member and then be approved by the Guild, or submit five sample pieces of their best work for review. (All pieces will be returned once a decision has been made.)
A new member can join as either a Publishing or a non-Publishing member. Pages in the Modern Lithic Artists Journals are available only to Publishing members in good standing.

For more information on how to be considered for membership in the Guild, please contact TJ Onken.
