The gift arrived in plenty of time and arrived well packaged for its long journey to Australia. I was searching the internet for something unusual in alabaster and found it. It will be a perfect gift. Thank you

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.

Smaller than expected, but shipped and arrived quickly. My kids haven’t done the carving yet, but are excited about it.

Veelgestelde vragen

Lees onze pagina met veelgestelde vragen voor meer informatie.

Is steenbeeldhouwen safe?

Yes, the stone we use is certified free from harmful elements like asbestos and is primarily talk or calcite. We encourage the use of water during beeldhouwen and sanding stages to avoid any airborne dust.

Welke soorten steen worden gebruikt?

We use natural occurring stone in our products. Both Speksteen and Albast. Speksteen is a colourful and soft mainly talc based stone that is certified safe for beeldhouwen. Albast is a beautiful semi-translucent calcite based stone slightly harder than speksteen.

Hoe kunt u steen bewerken zonder stof te maken?

The more frequent you wet the stone and tools when beeldhouwen, the less dry stone dust you create. We developed this beeldhouwen process to use water and be done easily at home.

Heb ik hiervoor ervaring nodig?

We invented this starter steenbeeldhouwen projects that can be very successful without any beeldhouwen experience!

Hoe kan ik beter worden in steenbeeldhouwen?

My first recommendation is to join our free beeldhouwen webinars. It is a great place to learn more and ask questions. You should also try more complicated projects and try different stones. I have carved many types of stone over my life as a sculptor.

Welke afwerkingsmogelijkheden zijn er?

We suggest gently heating the stone and using a paraffin wax, but you can also use mineral oil or Tung oil to enhance the colours. The oils will fade over time, whereas the wax will last. One other option for a more durable finish is to spray the finished piece with a clear lacquer.
