Story Behind the Art

Each sculpture is crafted by SMOLArt artisans from Tabaka, Kenya, the heart of the country’s soapstone carving tradition. Soapstone is mined, carved, and polished using traditional hand tools, ensuring that every piece is unique. SMOLArt, a Fair Trade Federation member, provides artisans with fair wages and supports community development initiatives, including education, healthcare, and improved living conditions.

Soapstone is a naturally occurring stone, extracted from pits in Kisii, Kenya. The stone is then delivered to skilled carvers who use basic tools like pangas, chisels, and sandpaper to transform raw stone into intricate sculptures. Once carved, the surface is hand-sanded and wax-polished, giving the sculpture its smooth, satin finish.

A Gift to Remember
