Soapstone Birds – Fair Trade

Soapstone Birds are crafted entirely by hand by artisans in rural Western Kenya from a village called Tabaka. Using skills passed down through generations, these artisans quarry, carve, dye, etch, and finish each figurine by hand, creating truly one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate human artistry and connection. This assortment includes 4 vibrant soapstone birds, featuring a variety of colors and patterns unique to GEO’s collaboration with the artisans.

This collection is Fair Trade Certified, plastic-free, and sustainably sourced, supporting ethical employment and environmentally responsible production. Perfect for museum shops, souvenir collections, or ethical retail assortments, each figurine adds a joyful, story-rich accent to your shop.

FROM OUR GLOBAL PARTNERS: “In our culture, an artistic heritage is handed down through the generations. Parents pass on to their children the skill of carving, and appreciation for artistic beauty. By beginning to carve in childhood, we develop an individual artist style and way of expressing ourselves in stone. Our inspiration and subject matter stems from [the] traditions and stories upon which we are nurtured as children.”
