They are a vital part of her life, affectionately dubbed, 'Good Medicine'.

About the Business
By providing stones and pre-cut animal shapes, we encourage creativity and artistic expression in people of all ages. Our products serve as a canvas for individuals to explore their artistic talents and unleash their creativity.
Our sets of pre-cuts are sold at markets and to school classrooms offering Educators and Non-Profits a valuable resource to incorporate art education into their curriculum. By teaching stone carving techniques, we empower both teachers and students to engage in hands-on learning experiences that go beyond traditional art mediums.
Our services focus on teaching people how to teach stone carving to others, implying a comprehensive approach to skill development. By sharing our expertise, we equip others with the knowledge and techniques needed to become proficient in stone carving, fostering a community of skilled artisans and educators.
Soap stones are relatively easy to work with compared to harder stones like marble or granite, making them accessible to a wide range of individuals regardless of skill level or age. By offering pre-cut shapes, we further lower the barrier to entry for those interested in stone carving, making the art form more approachable and enjoyable for beginners.
Our pre-cut animal shapes add a distinctive touch to the stone carving experience. Unlike traditional stone carving projects, which often start with raw blocks of stone, our pre-cuts provide customers with ready-to-carve shapes, saving them time and effort while still allowing for artistic customization.
Unleash Your Creativity: Let your imagination run wild as you discover the joy of shaping and carving this unique material with your own hands.
The calming effects of this artistic process can also promote emotional well-being and provide an outlet for self-expression.
Carving soap stone not only feeds the creative nature but also helps to overcome dyslexic disfunction, calms nervousness, and assists to ease arthritis.
