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.

Brain with White Crackle glaze:
Brain with copper glaze:
The inside of this brain came out a different metallic color:

These are the objects taking up space on my closet shelf at present:
The coil pot experimentation continues.
Someone bought the last of my cat columns. I intended to make another one and came up with this thing instead.

Baby-Eater Pot
This is a mug-sized coil pot with wonderfully deformed baby-face molds in the mouth and around the outside.
