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.

Cat Head 2
I am continuing with the quest for wearable clay pendants even though the Etsy connection didn't work out. This is my second attempt at a Cat Head pendant, slightly smaller than the first. Unfortunately, it lost an ear, so I'm planning on abandoning it somewhere in the Rillito. Because it was damaged, I glazed it one uniform color instead of using a detailed and disorienting color scheme. I think I like the single-glaze effect better.
