Soapstone is a natural rock found
in the village of Tabaka near Kisii, Kenya.
When carved and polished it is beautifully smooth and tactile. Most of the villagers make their living
creating soapstone items. The colour is made from local dyes, which may fade over time in bright light. Polishing with a wax polish protects the colour as well as creating a brilliant shine.
