About

My name is Mary Egan and I have been a lover of animals, art, nature and making things my whole life, including this little cat face motif- about 15 years ago I started learning ceramics and a few years later developed the "Cosmic Cats" that started out as odes to Bastet (ancient Egyptian Cat Goddess) then developed into cat figurine mini vases.

These little vases have turned into individual creative experiments with clay. Each Cosmic Cat hand sculpted mostly from white smooth stoneware clay and decorated  with carvings, glaze and stain accents. Each face is similar but completely unique and many are a little "Wabi Sabi" in their appearance.

I have mostly been selling in my local community here in Northern California at small markets and fairs ,and they have gained some fans and have been gifted to cat lovers in spots across the globe. The most common reaction from those who first pick up a Cosmic Cat figurine  vase, is that they are a lot heavier than they look- in a good way. They are formed from a solid piece of clay and range from about 1"- 10" . I am working on ways to make larger cats in the future (stay tuned)  but for now these little cats are ready to go out to the world and lend a bit of rustic whimsey, charm, cuteness and sometimes elegance to your space.

I am developing a stronger online presence to introduce cats more to the big world as I have nearly saturated my little community, and it's many cat lovers and friends with Cosmic Cats. 

Thank you for stopping by and reading this- hope you enjoy the Cosmic Cats!
