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 ☺️

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.

FAQs

Leia a nossa página de perguntas frequentes para saber mais.

A escultura em pedra é segura?

Sim. A pedra que utilizamos é certificada como livre de elementos nocivos, como amianto, e é principalmente à base de talco ou calcite. Incentivamos a utilização de água durante as fases de escultura e lixagem para evitar pó em suspensão no ar.

Que tipos de pedra são utilizados?

Utilizamos pedra natural nos nossos produtos, tanto pedra-sabão como alabastro. A pedra-sabão é uma pedra colorida e macia, principalmente à base de talco, certificada como segura para esculpir. O alabastro é uma bela pedra semi-translúcida à base de calcite, ligeiramente mais dura do que a pedra-sabão.

Como esculpir sem criar pó?

Quanto mais frequentemente molhar a pedra e as ferramentas enquanto esculpe, menos pó seco de pedra irá criar. Desenvolvemos este processo de escultura para usar água e ser feito facilmente em casa.

Preciso de experiência para fazer isto?

Criámos estes projetos iniciais de escultura em pedra para que possam ter excelentes resultados mesmo sem qualquer experiência em escultura!

Como posso melhorar na escultura em pedra?

A minha primeira recomendação é participar nos nossos webinars gratuitos de escultura. É um excelente espaço para aprender mais e fazer perguntas. Também deve experimentar projetos mais complexos e diferentes tipos de pedra. Ao longo da minha vida como escultor, esculpi muitos tipos de pedra.

Quais são algumas opções de acabamento?

Sugerimos aquecer suavemente a pedra e utilizar cera de parafina, mas também pode usar óleo mineral ou óleo de tungue para realçar as cores. Os óleos irão desvanecer com o tempo, enquanto a cera permanece. Outra opção para um acabamento mais duradouro é pulverizar a peça acabada com uma laca transparente.
