The sculpture of Repulse Bay harkens back in some respects to the models and miniatures made for missionaries and whalers in Historic Period. Animals or genre scenes, with an unpretentious folk art flavour, are the most common subjects.
Although the generic term soapstone is commonly used, this is a bit misleading. Soapstone, a soft talc steatite, is not used nearly as much as the harder serpentine, serpentinite, siltstone, argillite, dolomite, quartz and other types.
Materials are often in short supply, and artists must travel great distances overland or by boat to quarry quantities of good quality stone. Buyer to pay shipping and insurance costs.
