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.

My Zuckuss Dilemma
This is a sculpture of the head of the Gand bounty hunter Zuckuss (not to be confused with his droid hetero lifemate 4-LOM).
Unfortunately, a piece of the column became detached, possibly due to an air pocket in the clay.
The detached piece still fits easily into the column,
so I'm trying to find a way to reattach the piece during the glazing process.
