Heart Bowl - Green by Global Crafts
12
Hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone by African artisans, these soapstone heart bowls make a great trinket dish to brighten up your nightstand, dresser, coffee table or office desk!
Features:
- Soapstone is a soft, natural mineral from the earth, making it easy to carve into many forms.
- Handle with care to avoid breakage. Each piece has gone through multiple stages of sanding and waxing, giving the soapstone a satiny finish.
- Socially responsible products that empower consumers to purchase according to their values and help alleviate global poverty.
- Fair Trade is an alternative business model that values safe workplaces, fair wages and community investment for factory employees.
Story behind the art: Each sculpture is artfully hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone, found only in the hills of southwestern Kenya. Mining the soapstone from surface hills is a labour-intensive process, using little to no machinery. Laborers works with shovels, picks, axes and machetes to carve out large soapstone chucks, which are then carved into beautiful art.
