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.

End of Time
These are the fully glazed miniatures for my D&D character called End of Time. The name comes from the pyramid-headed South American shaman from Fierce Invalids Home from Warm Climates by Tom Robbins. The character is a deva shaman and his spirit companion is a parasitic conjoined twin. End of Time reincarnated with a twisted, hideously deformed version of himself attached to the back of his skull and knew that he must have committed some epic atrocities in his last incarnation.
