How to Carve an Orca in Soapstone | Full Step-by-Step Tutorial

Carve your own soapstone orca with this full step-by-step tutorial. In this video, we guide you through the complete carving process — from shaping raw soapstone to sanding and waxing your finished sculpture. This project is suitable for beginners, families, classrooms, and anyone curious about working with real stone. You’ll learn essential subtractive sculpting techniques including filing for shape, refining details, progressive sanding, and applying finishing wax to bring out the natural beauty of soapstone. Take your time, enjoy the tactile process, and watch your orca emerge from the stone. This tutorial follows our Orca Soapstone Carving Kit, but the same techniques can be applied to any of our soapstone or alabaster projects.
