Seal Soapstone Carving Kit
I have wanted for a long time to try carving soapstone. I love seals! This kit had everything required making it simple and affordable. It was easier than anticipated. I ended up buying the cat for my daughter ( age 10) because she was interested and she was able to execute it as well. Would make a great gift or easy craft if you want to try out something new I recommend it!
I love my Seal Soapstone Carving Kit from Studiostone Creative. I spent about 90 minutes from start to finish and it looks really cute on my shelf. So much FUN!
Starting with the rough cut out piece of soapstone and following the simple steps - filing, sanding, waxing and it looks as nice as some of the ones I have bought in gift shops. I really appreciate that you get all the materials you need in the kit. Now I want to do more soapstone carving! I will be buying another one!
A rare art kit that actually offers everything you need while not completely holding yr hand or doing all the work for you! I made my seal a little bit rounder than the one on the box but it still turned out lovely and i feel like i learned a new skill. My only complaint is that the sandpaper runs down quite quick, perhaps just slightly larger pieces in the kits would be helpful? But otherwise it was a great experience and I'm happy with my end result!
Genau wie in der Beschreibung. Bin sehr zufrieden (:
Unique gift . Just what I was looking for.
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. In 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.
Super nice kit. Fast shipping.
So fun! Item arrived quickly too.
I’m carving this as a birthday gift for my husband since his name means “Little Seal”. I’m so excited to see his face✨
Great gift. We love these carving kits!
Instructions were easy to understand, and it was a fun project. Everything I needed was included in the box.

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.
