These fair trade boxes and trays are ideal for storing small mementos and trinkets. These items are made in Kenya using soapstone, a durable material often used in sculpture and functional art. Our artists specialize in making soapstone boxes and trays. Soapstone is a natural quarried stone. It’s a metamorphic rock that got its name from the soft, or soapy, feel of its surface, which is thanks to the presence of talc in the stone. Check out the trays and trinket boxes below made of beautiful soapstone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
