I ordered this kit to carve this for my mom for Christmas. It was my first time and so incredibly simple! Mine isn't as flowy and soft as someone who has had a lot of practice, but it turned out so well! And it was relaxing doing it!

We have yet to do the kit, but it looks like it'll be great! The instructions seem clear - I bought this for my husband who is trying out new hobbies.

This was so much fun to do! While it doesn't look like the model, I think mine is still super cute! My own kitties stayed at my side while I carved it.

Absolutely adored making this cat! I never knew how fun carving would be! Can't wait to buy more!! I can't imagine an 8yr old doing this, but I'm in my early 20s and it was a bit of a challenge for me! If you want to have fun, go for it!!!

I bought this for my partner for Christmas, and I’m so pleased with the set and how the final carving turned out. A really lovely, alternative gift for adults, with clear instructions and everything you need to get started. I only wish you could buy these in the U.K., to avoid the customs charges! Thank you so much ☺️

Mz. 8 dove into this as thier first Xmas morning project. Instructions were easy to follow. Stone easy to carve. The hardest part was finding a hair dryer.

US BUYERS BE AWARE THAT WE RECEIVED CUSTOMS BILL FROM UPS OVER A WEEK LATER - Seller never disclosed customs charges. UPS tells us the seller is aware of charges at time of shipment as they must sign papers. I would highly recommend these kits over anything I have been able to find, but not priced well for one inexpensive included tool. Wood carving kits are actually priced better. The box and packaging are nice. Diorama is a wonderful backdrop. Stone is well cut, not chipped, and makes a nice hefty size piece.
The directions are specific and attention to detail for each piece. Reuse same directions if you had material and equipment to cut a new stone. The cloth and sandpaper are slivers of what they should be, especially for beginners, but that is my suggestion for improvement. These are great beginner kits.

Made this for my wee niece who is obsessed with cats. We think cat will end up being her first word, though we might be confusing her with cat, kitty, and gato lol. She loved it! Her grandma dropped it and broke an ear off, which was sad, so do keep in mind that this is fun and easy to carve but also very soft stone because of that. Easy to chip and break! The directions are easy to follow but you also have a lot of leeway to add your own style to the cat.

Preguntas frecuentes

Consulte nuestra página de Preguntas frecuentes para obtener más información.

¿Es seguro tallar piedra?

Sí, la piedra que utilizamos está certificada como libre de elementos nocivos como el amianto y es principalmente talco o calcita. Recomendamos el uso de agua durante las etapas de tallado y lijado para evitar el polvo en el aire.

¿Qué tipos de piedra se utilizan?

Utilizamos piedra natural en nuestros productos. Tanto esteatita como alabastro. La esteatita es una piedra colorida y blanda, principalmente a base de talco, certificada como segura para tallar. El alabastro es una hermosa piedra semitraslúcida a base de calcita, ligeramente más dura que la esteatita.

¿Cómo tallar sin hacer polvo?

Cuanto más frecuentemente moje la piedra y las herramientas al tallar, menos polvo de piedra seca creará. Desarrollamos este proceso de tallado para usar agua y que se pueda realizar fácilmente en casa.

¿Necesito habilidades para hacer esto?

¡Hemos inventado estos proyectos de iniciación de tallado en piedra con los que se puede tener mucho éxito sin ninguna experiencia previa en el tallado!

¿Cómo puedo mejorar tallando piedra?

Mi primera recomendación es que se una a nuestros seminarios web gratuitos de talla. Es un excelente lugar para aprender más y hacer preguntas. También debería intentar proyectos más complicados y probar diferentes piedras. He tallado muchos tipos de piedra a lo largo de mi vida como escultor.

¿Cuáles son algunas opciones de acabados?

Sugerimos calentar suavemente la piedra y usar una cera de parafina, pero también puede usar aceite mineral o aceite de Tung para realzar los colores. Los aceites se desvanecerán con el tiempo, mientras que la cera durará. Otra opción para un acabado más duradero es rociar la pieza terminada con una laca transparente.
