Six flat 3 x 3 x 3/4 inch blocks - one per student. This is the pack teachers, camps and first-time carvers reach for, because a thin block turns into a finished pendant, turtle or fish in a single session.
At a glance
| Size | 3 x 3 x 3/4 in each, 6 pieces |
| Metric | 7.6 x 7.6 x 1.9 cm each |
| Weight | approx. 300 g each (1.8 kg per pack) |

Why carvers choose the 3x3x3/4 Class Pack (6)
- One pack, six students. Each tile is a full project. Six tiles cover a small class or a family night.
- Thin = fast. At 3/4 inch thick a first carving is done in one session, start to polish.
- Safe with hand tools. Soft stone, a rasp and sandpaper. No chisels, hammers or power tools.
- Every tile is different. Natural tan, grey and green stone. Oil it at the end to show the colour.
Built for repeatable work
Sawn blocks have flat faces you can draw on - front, side and top. Professional carvers pencil a template onto every block, rough out with a rasp or saw and refine with rifflers. Because our sizes stay the same order to order, a design you like is a design you can make again.
The colour shows at the end
Dry Brazilian soapstone looks pale and chalky. Wet it or rub in mineral oil and the green, grey, brown and charcoal veining comes up. No two blocks finish the same - that's the part carvers love.
Who buys it
Who buys it: Indigenous carvers and artists (including many from Six Nations of the Grand River), art teachers and school boards, summer camps and rec programs, carving instructors and studios, museums, galleries and gift shops, and hobby carvers across Canada and the USA.
Carving tips
- Carve over a damp towel and wet the stone often - it keeps dust down and shows you the colour.
- Wear a simple dust mask if you sand dry.
- Sand through the grits: 100 to shape, 360 and 600 to smooth, 2000 to polish.
- Finish with mineral oil or paste wax and buff with a soft cloth.
Questions
How many students does one pack cover?
Six - one tile each. Most teachers plan one tile per student per session; order two packs if you want a spare for mistakes.
What can you carve from a 3x3x3/4 tile?
Pendants, hearts, turtles, fish, whales, simple animals in profile and low-relief designs. It is the easiest starting shape because it is already flat.
Do you sell these in bulk for schools and camps?
Yes. Schools, camps and instructors order them by the case. Apply for a wholesale account or message us.
