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.

Ogrémoch 2 WIP
Last year, I made a Bust of Ogrémoch, the Prince of Evil Earth Elementals from Dungeons & Dragons. I made another one this week. I don't think it came out that nice. Also, the head is a large pinch pot and the clay is extremely thick. It would be a liability in the kiln and another large, ugly object to have around my shrinking living space. It's too late to reuse the clay, but I'm considering breaking it down and dumping it in the slip bucket.
I decided to break it down, dissolve the clay and recycle it.
