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.

Aberrant Giraffe Pot
I modeled this sculptural pot after a piece that I made in 2010. It was one of my favorite pieces at the time and was badly damaged when a shelf collapsed. It came out like some kind of unnatural human were-giraffe, hence the name: Aberrant Giraffe Pot. The functional part of this piece is a hand-built coil/slab pot.
