Any day is Valentine’s Day when you share your love with one of these delightful kisii stone paperweights. Hand-carved from kisii soapstone, each piece is beautifully decorated in assorted patterns of red, black, and white. The soapstone, found only in Kenya, is soft and easy to carve into intricate designs. After multiple stages of sanding, the artisans achieve a satiny finish, followed by waxing. In some cases, artisans add vibrant color to further enhance the unique pattern of each piece. This paperweight is a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates artistry and craftsmanship.
Who Made It: This beautiful kisii stone paperweight is handcrafted by artisans working with Ten Thousand Villages, a fair trade partner that provides fair wages and promotes sustainable livelihoods for artisans in Kenya. The cooperative ensures that traditional craftsmanship is preserved while helping local artisans thrive.
