Soapstone Carving Kit - Lion + Elephant

Carve a Masterpiece Every Time!

Kit Includes BOTH Lion AND Elephant

Hone your filing and polishing skills with our quality Brazilian soapstone kits. We’ve cut out the basic silhouette of a lion and an elephant into pieces of solid soapstone. Now you apply the artist’s touch and take it to the next level. By using the included tools, you’ll smooth and shape the rock into fully rounded figurines. Then polish and wax the figure over time to bring out the stone’s true color and luster. A soothing and satisfying way to pass some time, you can create a truly amazing stone sculpture in 90 minutes with no previous experience. Includes 1 lion & 1 elephant pre-cut soapstone sculpture (approx. 4” l  x 1”w each) plus files, course & fine sand paper, wax, polishing cloths and instructions.

Finished life-like sculpture approximately lion 3’ x 2” x1” (L x H x W) and elephant 3” x 2” x1” (L x H x W)  For ages 8+.

Step-by step illustrated instructions guide you through the process. You provide a small towel and a bowl with water. You’ll want to keep the stone wet during the carving and sanding stages to minimize the dry dust. This product was originally designed for in-school art class programs.

NOTE: Finished pieces are shown only for comparative purposes and are NOT included. 

Fun fact: This soapstone is sourced from Brazil. The outer layers of the Christ the Redeemer sculpture in Rio de Janeiro are made of soapstone!
