Single Parent and Children Soapstone Sculpture
This beautifully carved soapstone sculpture made in Kenya is the perfect gift to honor your dad this Father’s Day. It can be placed in his bedroom or living room and will be a reminder of your love on a daily basis. Hand carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone by African artisans, the outstretched arms of one parent and children hold onto one another in love and connectivity. This sculpture personifies the timeless strength of the family bond. It is painted with a lustrous black finish, so is versatile and can match any home decor.
Soapstone is a soft stone, making it easy to carve into many forms. Handle with care to avoid breakage. Each piece has gone through multiple stages of sanding and waxing, giving the soapstone a satiny finish. Socially responsible products empower consumers to purchase according to their values and help alleviate global poverty. Fair Trade is an alternative business model that values safe workplaces, fair wages and community investment for factory employees.
Ceramic Coffee Mugs from West Bank
For a practical and useful Father’s Day gift, get him a coffee mug — or a set of them! Our collection of ceramic mugs from the West Bank are creative and make for a unique gift straight from Palestinian artists. (Be sure to check out our blog on West Bank ceramics!) These mugs have a fascinating backstory and you can expect dad to use them on a daily basis. They are intricately hand painted with a floral motif, reflecting traditional Palestinian craft. Each mug is hand painted with ceramic high gloss glaze and is available in four different colors. These mugs are microwave safe. Hand wash recommended. They are tested for lead content and are made for food use in accordance with FDA guidelines for food-safe ceramics.
Soapstone Desktop Box in Black
This fair trade box from Kenya is a modest, but useful gift for dad. It can be used to place small momentos or cufflinks in. Kenyan artisans hand carve soft soapstone to create rectangular boxes, then dye the exterior repeatedly to achieve a deep black finish. Etched details evoke the lustrous edges and shards of obsidian. Your father will surely appreciate this unique gift!
