(That’s Bob up there, he is the first monster I ever made. He says hi too.)

About :

Hi! Welcome to Spacecat Ceramics — a colorful collision of whimsy, chaos, and clay.

I’m a former librarian who now tells stories through clay — one weird monster at a time. Every creature I make is a little odd, a little charming, and looks like it might’ve escaped from an unsettling dream and then immediately got lost in a 90’s Nickelodeon technicolor cartoon.

Each monster is hand-built, one-of-a-kind, and full of personality. Think googly eyes, toothy grins, and chaotic color schemes.

The vibe? Someone definitely sprinkled too much imagination into the kiln.

At the very end of the process, each monster gets a name and a little story to help them feel ready to head out into the world — quirks, anxieties, and all — to find their forever place.

Thanks for visiting my weird, joyful corner of the ceramic universe. I hope you find a monster that feels like home.

The monster process:

Each and every step of monster making is done by hand — every monster is hand built out of clay, individual pieces are sculpted and then attached by hand. The monster is also hand painted and glazed, they're never just dunked into a glaze (dunking upsets them, no one likes being dunked). And at the very end, the monster gets a unique name and original story to help make them feel ready to go out into the world and be adopted.

Because of all of these steps, every monster is one of a kind! Depending on size, on average they take about a month to complete, from first concept to finished product.
