Leonard Howlett – New Artist at the Shag It

Carvings by Newfoundland artist Leonard HowlettCarving by Newfoundland artist Leonard HowlettLeonard Howlett has a unique eye for beauty so I’ve been using some of the pictures he’s shared with me on our blog. Now I’m happy to share some pictures of the beautiful carvings of his that we now have on offer at the Shag It Cafe and Gift Shop. Leonard carves spirits into wood from local trees and into pyrophyllite, a soapstone-like mineral mined in Conception Bay. He’s been carving these treasures for over 20 years, and they’re so beautiful that we’re delighted to be able to offer them at our shop.

Leonard, his wife, Tina, and his daughter, Kristen have been out a few times to enjoy our cottages. They also got a chance to visit our ponies at The Doctor’s House, as you can see below!Newfoundland pony and guest at The Doctor's House
