Story Behind the Art:

Carved from Kisii soapstone, found only in the hills of southwestern Kenya, each compass is a one-of-a-kind creation. The soapstone is mined by hand using traditional tools, and skilled artisans shape, carve, and polish the stone using centuries-old techniques. This process not only creates unique, handcrafted works of art but also provides fair trade employment opportunities, supporting local artisans and their communities.
