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.

Menorah with Spirals

This is my first menorah of the year. The spiral pattern is from a Halloween candle of the female monster from The Bride of Frankenstein.




Unfortunately, due to a random kiln accident, it's probably not salable. Another piece was placed too close to it in the glaze kiln and became fused to it. That beige blob is my initials and the white dot in the upper left corner of the initials is where I had to pry the other piece off of it. It was very sharp and it made me bleed.
