Who Made It: These Soapstone products are carved by the artists of SMOLArt, a group of artists who live in the rural village of Tabaka, Kenya, the heart of soapstone crafts. Soapstone is mined from the area surrounding Kiisi, Kenya and is delivered to carvers who carve sculptures from the natural stone. Once carved, the craftspeople smooth rough edges of the soapstone with sandpaper dipped in water and polished using a high gloss or painted in brilliant colors with etched accents.
