Welcome to Cape Breton Clay

Welcome to Cape Breton Clay, located in the scenic Margaree Valley, a short hop from the famed Cabot Trail. Bell Fraser was born and raised here and she, with husband Stewart Applegath, opened their first shop in 1996. On your next trip to Nova Scotia and the Cabot Trail, drop in and take home a piece of the island.

If you can't get to Cape Breton, call or email us to inquire about direct shipment; we ship Cape Breton Clay anywhere in North America, and to some locations beyond. (See our Contact Page for shipping and payment details). We also have paintings by Bell Fraser, who is represented by YHZ Contemporary Art in Halifax, and elegantly framed-and-matted photographs of Cape Breton by Steven Crainford, which are available in Nova Scotia exclusively at Cape Breton Clay.

We now have a second shop located at Chimney Corner, on the Ceilidh Trail, about 5 miles south of Margaree Harbour.
