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.

Rat Vestige

The game called for dire rats and these are what I managed to produce.




I found a package of sticky rats at Target and they were much more easily recognizable as rats. The packaging also had potential as a mold for more clay rats.




This was the primitive-looking result. I can't decide which photo I like better so I'm including both. Note the details of the texture of the black sweatshirt I use as a background.
