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.

Chatterer Pot
This pot was inspired by a character in Clive Barker's film Hellraiser. Hellraiser is about a cube-shaped puzzle which opens the door to another dimension and summons a quartet of Cenobites, S&M angel-demons which mock and torment whomever solved the puzzle. The Cenobites are ghoulishly mutilated and pierced. One of them has a blank, burned face with nothing but a prominent mouth stretched open with metal hooks with teeth which incessantly chatter, hence its name The Chatterer.
