Our Story

As professional Artists, we live in the world of creative expression.

Studiostone Creative has a vision that anyone ages 8 to 99 should be able to carve stone with the right tools and instructions.  It all began in Oliver’s sculpture studio when one day an elementary school teacher called, asking if he would come to teach the students stone carving. Until that point, he had taught only adults to carve with large blocks of stone and big tools in a 20-hour course.

So the artist became the entrepreneur out to answer the question… “Can anyone create a truly amazing stone sculpture in 90 minutes with no previous experience?”

After much trial and development, the 90 minute in-school stone carving program was introduced with great success. Currently, Studiostone Creative teaches students the thrill of transforming stone into a fully-finished sculpture. We teach 10,000 students every year in schools.  With the program up and running, parents began asking for something similar for home use. Thus the Soapstone carving Kit was born.

It includes a premium hand cut stone, with custom designed tools, supplies and easy to follow step-by-step instructions.  Every element of the process is designed to combine fun, learning and creativity.

We’ve come a long way since those early days.  Jocelyne and Kent, two friends and colleagues, joined the business and the company is now winning awards for product design and business initiatives.

Our goal is to make sculpture accessible to all and provide a wonderful creative experience for all ages.  We invite you to try our stone carving kits and in-school programs.
