Our Soapstone is carved by the artists of SMOLArt a group of artists who live in the rural village of Tabaka, Kenya, the heart of soapstone crafts. The name, a shortened version of Small, Medium, and Large Artists, refers to the size of the soapstone products the artisans make, not their stature. Established in 1990, SMOLArt is a member of the WFTO, and as such assures that the artisans are paid a fair price for their work. In addition, the organization support community development by contributing to projects that improve living conditions, education, and health of their members and the village at large.

Jedando Handicrafts Kenya

Each piece of olive wood is carved using rudimentary tools, giving the bowl unique marks left by the hand  of the artisan.  The bone accent is crafted using the "batik" process which is an age old art used in Africa.  The patterns are applied by placing wax on the white bone and dipping the bone into a dark brown/black dye, resulting in the beautiful African mud cloth designs. 

Fair Trade is so much more than a product assortment. It's about safe workplaces, fair wages + community investment.  By purchasing according to your values, you become part of this success story and help alleviate poverty for this generation and beyond!

Note: Because these are made by hand using rudimentary hand tools, no two are identical and variations are to be appreciated and enjoyed by the consumer.  Sizes will vary a bit from piece to piece.  Batik designs will vary.  Each is a piece of art.

D E T A I L S

  • Artfully carved from a single piece of wild olive wood using simple hand tools
  • Measurements:  Approximately 13.25" x 7.25"(due to the handmade nature, sizes can vary up to an inch).
  • Hand wash only. Periodically treat wood with food-grade mineral oil or olive oil to maintain their beauty and luster.
  • Rustic oval container with elegant, hand-carved base and beautiful natural wood-grain
  • Bone inlay accent features unique batik designs that will vary from piece to piece

Use this for entertaining (food safe), a catch-all for remote controls on an ottoman, in a kitchen, or accent item in the home.  Wherever the placement, it is sure to be a conversation starter!
