Cape Breton Clay

Cape Breton Clay is created by Margaree Valley native, Bell Fraser. Bell creates crab, lobster, fish, mussels, and ears of corn into her platters and bowls.  The application, painting and glazing of these “critters” adds time and complexity to the fabrication of each piece. Aside from the rich detail evident on the creatures, the navy-blue glazed surfaces are hand-applied in three successive coats by brush, rather than by dipping. The cumulative results of these processes are works that are complex, elegant and beautiful
