🪨 Did You Know?
Every soapstone sculpture begins as a solid piece of natural stone, carefully hand-carved by skilled artisans before being polished to reveal its smooth, velvety finish.
• Soapstone is one of the oldest carving stones used by humans, dating back thousands of years.
• It gets its name from its smooth, soap-like texture.
• Each piece has unique natural colours and patterns, making every carving one of a kind.
• Soapstone is easy to carve by hand but becomes durable enough to last for generations.
• Many African artisans continue this centuries-old tradition, passing their carving skills from one generation to the next.
