Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.

Someone Else's Beholder
This beholder sculpture was on the shelf for the kids' class. Either some kid plays Dungeons & Dragons, or he copied my beholders. I'm guessing the latter. Either way, as stated in an earlier post, my beholders were accused of being cute and charming, and this beholder is vile and disgusting. I'm a little jealous. I might attempt a copy of the copy.
