Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny,
potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in the medium of stoneware clay for 21 years, developing a practice rooted in literal construction and obsessive repetition. He makes non-traditional ceramics in a medium built on tradition, exploring the overlap between wonder and revulsion. Subject matter includes sympathetic monsters, insects, opossums, fast food mascots, and Halloween kitsch.

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.

More Kiln Disasters

Talz Column:
This piece was fired at too high a temperature and cracked. It's not the correct color due to the high temperature, but it's close to the color I was going to glaze it anyway. I'm going to attempt to glue the pieces together and possibly use brown acrylic paint on the face.



No Face:
I don't know why this one cracked. I assert that it wasn't my fault. I'm planning on gluing it together and painting it with acrylics.




Yithian 2:
This survived mostly intact, except for some tendrils around the mouth. This is the most difficult to fix because I don't have the tendrils and it's not complete without them.
