Blazing Skeletons. Skeletons Afire.
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.

Dwarves and Blazing Skeletons
These came out looking more like garden gnomes than I was hoping. They're partially modeled on the dwarves in the Rankin-Bass cartoon version of The Hobbit. They have big noses, beards, and hoods. Because of the noses, they're also a little top heavy (hence the scaffolding).
