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.

Straw House Gallery
I had six pieces for sale at Straw House Gallery in Amado, AZ. I attended the artists' reception. They had some wine and snacks, a fire, a poetry reading, and a prayer circle. I sold four of my pieces: Nectocaris, Pikaia, Anomalocaris, and Wiwaxia. They sold for $35 each, which comes to $98 after the gallery takes its 30%, which is the most I've ever made from selling sculpture.
