The Hairy Demon Clown Cup's redeeming feature is its cheerily colored top. The colors are a tribute to a ceramic bong my parents owned at one point.
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.

Hairy Demon Clown Cup
This is a clay slab vessel (actually two slab vessels attached) with a monstrous, clown-like face and a hairy texture. I would like to think that it would be used to contain something truly repellant to all decent people.
