“Good Luck” Soapstone Hand-Warmer – Handcrafted One-of-a-Kind Pieces from Kenya
Pickup available at Bei der Kirche 3
Usually ready in 24 hours
The soapstone products come from Tabaka, Kenya, a village with around 10,000 residents, located about 25 km from Kisii. Soapstone (steatite) is a soft natural stone. The stones range in color from white and gray to yellow and reddish shades, sometimes with beautiful veining. The raw material is mined locally in quarries. The carvers are independent artists, each specializing in a particular product category. They use chisels, knives, scrapers, and sandpaper. The final sanding, washing, waxing, and polishing are usually done by women in the family. As each item is 100% handmade, variations in shape and color are to be expected.
