Keith Hull: Port Orchard, Washington
World Renown Artisan Keith Hull
of Washington State! Keith's works are highly sought after, and collected throughout the international art world. His
work is on display in many galleries and museums throughout the USA, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
The sophistication of his work is unbelievably unique. His flake lines are uniform and
exact, giving his pieces an authentic and traditional look and feel. His work rivals that of the late Grey Ghost, and has
recently been compared to the greatest knappers of the world by the American Paleontologist Society.
Recipient
of much praise and many coveted awards, Keith has been instrumental in establishing guidelines and regulations that govern
the sales of Native American artifacts. The original founder of Stone Culture, he has sought to enforce integrity in representation
of arrowheads and other stone blades. In 2003, Stone Culture so impressed the executives of eBay, that new regulations were
formed to prevent the sale of fake artifacts on eBay, and preserve the rights of Native American Cultures.

Ken Eley - Huntington Utah
Kenneth Eley is an amazing artist that hails from the small
town of Castledale Utah. New to Stone Culture, but not new to knapping, Ken originally started as a percussion knapper, and
learned the flat knapping technique under the tutelage of World Renown Keith Hull. "I think of myself as a story teller, and
the rock that I use is the canvas that I use to tell the story. Stone Culture is a brotherhood to me, and I've found inspiration
meeting knappers from all over the world."
Born in 1985, Ken can trace his ancestry back to the moorlands of Scottland.
His work contains many different materials, including Obsidian, Novaculite, Flint, Chert, Agate, and other more exotic materials.
