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.

Lepelara terrestris
This is a sculpture of Lepelara terrestris, one of the spectral plant species from Parallel Botany, Leo Leonni's psychedelic imaginary botany textbook. I made it in 2004 or 2005. Parallel Botany was one of my earliest source books.

Hallucigenia With Dog Head WIP
This is a sculpture of the fossil organism known as hallucigenia with the head of a dog. It's to replace the broken sculpture that I threw out this morning.
Hallucigenia With Dog Head
This is an old sculpture that was damaged at a craft fair. I like how dog heads look on hallucigenia bodies.

Ceramic Alphabet #2
Each letter has a background and the glossy black glaze made it difficult to photograph.
I also made Æ and Œ ligatures.
