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.
Self-taught artist on the autism spectrum. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, horror comedy, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – and all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme. I feel like I'm frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can.

Another Beholder
This is Beholder 8. I've been collecting scraps of clay for a few months and I have about 20 pounds or $36 worth of clay I was able to recycle. I wedged (kneaded) it for a long time, but I still found an occasional air pocket which means that Beholder 8 could contain unseen air pockets and explode in the kiln. Beholder 8 has about 80 teeth.
