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.

Dwarf Spirits
These are the three dwarf spirits for this week's episode of D&D Encounters. I intended to create Tolkien dwarves, but I think they came out more like Disney dwarves. I don't think I'm going to actually use them. They're a little taller than the orc spirits and they're also top heavy, so when the proprioception-challenged Warforged bard collides with the table for nth time, they'll fall on their big noses, a completely unacceptable afterlife situation for dwarves.
