Nortique of Newfoundland is proud to offer quality Newfoundland and Labrador crafts and souvenirs such as Albert Biles' Whale Carvings and Carolyn Shoemaker's Curzon Pottery.
Albert Biles has been carving since he was old enough to pick up a pocket knife. "Now it comes easy to me. I can't explain it. I never learned to carve from anyone; I just taught myself".
Reflecting the deep culture of Newfoundland and Labrador, both the Albert Biles carvings and the Curzon pottery, show the many aspects of the unique life in Newfoundland and Labrador through history, embracing the Aboriginal and Native lifestyles as well as the many cultural influences from history.
Using traditional materials such as moose antler, whalebone and soapstone, many of the Newfoundland crafts and souvenirs offered by Nortique of Newfoundland reflect the rich and evolving vocabulary of images experienced by Newfoundlanders throughout their lives.
Many of the Biles carvings depict a range in subject matter from the Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula, showing the region's flora and fauna as well as aboriginal myths and legends. Many of the images captured in the carvings seem to flow directly out of the materials used, including the mythological figures that emerge from the very form of the antler from which they are carved.
Shoemaker's Curzon Pottery offer a detailed look at Newfoundland and Labrador in handcrafted miniatures pottery ornaments. Whether a scene of a Newfoundland fishing warf, a weathered Newfoundland fishing skipper or a traditional Inuksuk, Curzon Pottery makes a great keepsake reminder of this great province and of Nortique of Newfoundland.
