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.

Wizard of Oz Figures
Finished Wizard of Oz Project
These are flat clay figures illustrating the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz. The Cowardly Lion is based on W. W. Winslow's illustration from the original novel and the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman are based on John R. Neill's illustrations from some of the later novels.

Clay Americas With Numbers
For this second set of Clay Americas, I concentrated on patterns with clock numbers. And a few skulls. And a mako root from Star Trek.
Ceramic Alphabet #1
I got a commission to make a ceramic magnet alphabet for a young child. I loved magnet letters when I was a child, and I was excited to make this, but I find the former teacher in me making comments about how children and ceramics generally result in broken ceramics and how my non-standardized, irregular letters are not an ideal model for a beginning reader.
I decided not to put magnets on these because I think it would interfere with the shape of the letter to have a big, black dot behind each one. I'm going to make a second set with each letter built on a rectangular background and count this one as a prototype.
I'm also going to post images of each separate letter to show off the glazes, because it's my blog and I'm allowed to be self-indulgent.
