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.

Down Down to Goblin Town
I am DMing the fourth season of D&D Encounters and I wanted to make as many of the miniatures as possible. These are goblins holding such weapons as scissors, a hammer, and a large, joint-like object which would be a javelin of some sort. Below is the universal soundtrack to any scene involving goblins, although the goblins from the Rankin-Bass cartoon of The Hobbit are much more menacing (which makes sense because goblin was apparently Bilbo's own term for an orc). I imagine them more like the screaming, knife-wielding jungle people in Diablo 2.
