If you’ve just opened your Beginner Soapstone Carving Bundle and have never carved stone before, you’re in the right place! Your bundle includes natural Southern Oregon soapstone pieces and a set of hand files that can be used to shape, round, smooth, and add details to your stone. One of the easiest ways to get started is free-form carving. You don't need an exact pattern or complicated design. Instead, let the natural shape of your soapstone help determine what it becomes.
