Soapstone art from Tabaka/ Kenya
My selection of soapstone brings a piece of Kenyan craftsmanship into your home. The pieces come from Tabaka near Kisii in Kenya. There, the soft natural stone is mined locally and shaped by independent artisans using chisels, knives, and scrapers.
From carving and sanding to polishing, each piece is handcrafted. Natural color nuances, fine grain patterns, and small variations in shape give each piece its own character. For me, it is precisely these unique qualities that make soapstone a beautiful gift idea and a special eye-catcher.
