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.

Vader Face
This godless winter holiday season is going to be an adventure in all clay gift giving. My sister requested something incorporating Greedo, Moe Szyslak, or the endangered California tiger salamander. Then she changed her mind and requested a Darth Vader flower pot. Darth Vader is not the sort of Star Wars character I would usually incorporate into my work, but I hate to disappoint. I made this part tonight and I'm going to attempt the flower pot (including Vader's helmet) tomorrow.
