Product Story
The Savannah Award Soapstone reflects Kenya's tradition of soapstone carving, particularly the craftsmanship associated with the Kisii soapstone. The making process begins with selecting suitable soapstone, which is carefully cut and hand-carved into the required form. The artisan then smooths and polishes the surface before applying dye and finishing details that enhance the final design.
Soapstone carving has strong cultural significance in the Kisii region, where artisans have developed specialized skills for transforming the locally available stone into sculptures, decorative pieces, functional objects, and contemporary artistic products. The knowledge and techniques involved in carving and finishing soapstone form an important part of the region's recognized craft tradition.
The name “Savannah” draws inspiration from the expansive natural landscapes associated with Kenya and other parts of East Africa. Combining this inspiration with Kisii soapstone craftsmanship gives the award a distinctly Kenyan character. As a recognition piece, the Savannah Award brings together the celebration of achievement, the beauty of natural materials, and the artistic heritage of Kenyan soapstone carving.
