Bear Soapstone Carving Kit
I Never received this item
My 8 year old son loved the entire process of carving his bear! It took him longer than he thought it would and the instructions were a bit sparse. Despite these things, he is begging for another!
A lot of fun and I love seeing it on my bookcase. Took faster and was messier than I expected, but that was part of the delight.
Just note that the stone colours vary and you might not know what you're going to get, and that the instructions might be a little sparse for beginners doing it solo.
Very very good recommend it for anyone who is looking for something to do that is very fun and simple for someone who likes carving.
Love!! Super fast delivery, great quality, easy to follow instructions, quality file to work with. Completed this project in a morning!
Such a great gift idea! I like how the basic animal shape is precut into the soapstone. Tools are included & the instructions are easy to follow.

I loved the final product and the process of making it was very satisfying
Amazing! My 10 year old son loves this kit so much. I will be buying some of the others for him to try out😁
My boyfriend normally can’t be coaxed into anything artsy or crafty related. But once I got him sitting down and started on this kit he was engrossed. We both really enjoyed our evening of carving. Will be buying more!

Un cadeau très original pour les fêtes cependant un peu déçu à la réception, il manquait le chiffon microfibre.
My nephew really loved it.
This is a gift, so I can't speak to how it will be received, but the packaging is very nice. It looks like a fun, less expected gift. I'm glad I found it.
Perfect! As described. Going to make a great Christmas gift for my son.
Kids loved it and want to do more!
Very well loved birthday present for my 11 year old nephew!
Great present, also for adults.

As expected and on time
My young carver loved this and completed the carving on the day he was gifted with it. Came out great!
FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Is stone carving 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 carving and sanding stages to avoid any airborne dust.
What types of stone are used?
We use natural occurring stone in our products. Both Soapstone and Alabaster. Soapstone is a colourful and soft mainly talc based stone that is certified safe for carving. Alabaster is a beautiful semi-translucent calcite based stone slightly harder than soapstone.
How to carve without making dust?
The more frequent you wet the stone and tools when carving, the less dry stone dust you create. We developed this carving process to use water and be done easily at home.
Do I need skills to do this?
We invented this starter stone carving projects that can be very successful without any carving experience!
How can I get better at carving stone?
My first recommendation is to join our free carving 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.
What are some options for finishes?
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.
