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.

American Gothic Cup Practice Objects
These are meant to be the stern-looking farmer from Grant Wood's painting American Gothic. I also made a mug using the same farmer and these were used as practice for that. I used an off-white glaze called Queens which usually comes out brownish when applied lightly. I did apply it lightly, but the glaze was probably too thick and it came out a uniform off-white which doesn't show the details that well.
