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.

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.
