One Village soapstone is more correctly called «gorara» stone. The stone is mottled and the colours vary.
Our soapstone articles are all made in a model craft workshop in the Indian city of Agra, home of the Taj Mahal.
Soapstone articles are commonly made in Agra, it is often said "by the descendents of the craftsmen who built the fabulous Taj".
But generally working conditions in the soapstone business are not good, including low pay (sometimes no pay when so-called «bonded labourers» are employed, understood to be "paying off debts" incurred by previous generations).
Our model workshop (set up by a voluntary organization) is spacious, light and airy. Craftmakers benefit from social provisons.
Income levels are by comparisons high, and through the management council workers have themselves a stake in how the business is run for their benefit.
