Studiostone Alabaster Arctic Seal
Ready to make a splash with an unforgettable craft?
With the Studiostone Alabaster Arctic Seal carving kit, your child will shape a block of alabaster into a smooth seal that looks straight out of icy waters. No prior carving skills are required—just patience, curiosity, and the included tools.
This kit invites your child to slow down and enjoy the work of filing, sanding, and polishing. With time, and with the help of the picture-based instructions, he can turn the rough stone into a glossy treasure.
Everything's in the box—pre-cut alabaster, kid-friendly carving file, two grades of sandpaper, natural polishing wax, and a buffing cloth—so all that's missing is your young sculptor's imagination.
The Arctic Seal kit is more than a craft project; it's an introduction to a longstanding art form and a chance for kids to discover the satisfaction of creating something lasting with their own hands. Once finished, the result is a polished piece that feels both timeless and proudly handmade.
The Arctic Seal introduces stonecarving that's cool, calming, and completely doable.
How to Sculpt an Arctic Seal
- Take it in chunks. Set aside short 15–20 minute carving sessions once or twice a week. Or, if your child’s in the zone, finish it in one sitting!
- Keep it damp. A splash of water keeps dust down for the best carving experience. If carving dry, a simple dust mask is a smart addition.
- Focus on rounding. Encourage your child to spend extra time smoothing curves to eliminate blockiness and make the finished seal shine with personality and realism.
- Polish like a pro. Apply wax to the warmed sculpture, wipe off quickly, and let the piece cool before buffing for that high-gloss look. Short on time? A few minutes in the fridge speeds things up.
- Display. Your child just transformed raw alabaster into a seal that looks like it swam in from the Arctic. Enjoy that handmade triumph!
Comes with a fold up diorama and cool fun facts about the animals.
About Studiostone Creative
Studiostone Creative has a vision that anyone ages 8 to 99 should be able to carve stone with the right tools and instructions. It all began in Oliver’s sculpture studio when one day an elementary school teacher called, asking if he would come to teach the students stone carving. Until that point, he had taught only adults to carve with large blocks of stone and big tools in a 20-hour course.
So the artist became the entrepreneur out to answer the question… “Can anyone create a truly amazing stone sculpture in 90 minutes with no previous experience?”
After much trial and development, the 90-minute in-school stone carving program was introduced with great success. Currently, Studiostone Creative teaches students the thrill of transforming stone into a fully-finished sculpture. We teach 10,000 students every year in schools. With the program up and running, parents began asking for something similar for home use. Thus the Soapstone carving Kit was born.
It includes a premium hand-cut stone, with custom-designed tools, supplies, and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. Every element of the process is designed to combine fun, learning, and creativity.
