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.
