Carved from soapstone in Western Kenya, these Sitting Cats are colorful and whimsical to brighten up the smallest spaces.

SMOLArt helps carvers living in western Kenya (Kiisi). Soapstone is mined from great pits in the area surrounding Kiisi, Kenya. The mined soapstone is then delivered to the carves who carve sculptures from the natural stone. Once carved, the crafts people smooth the rough edges of the soapstone with sandpaper dipped in water and polish the piece with a high gloss or paint African motifs in brilliant colours with etched accents.
