Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, ceramicist 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’m just frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can until I’m no longer able to do so.
This blog has served as a record of my ceramic output since 2006.

Cat Head 2
I am continuing with the quest for wearable clay pendants even though the Etsy connection didn't work out. This is my second attempt at a Cat Head pendant, slightly smaller than the first. Unfortunately, it lost an ear, so I'm planning on abandoning it somewhere in the Rillito. Because it was damaged, I glazed it one uniform color instead of using a detailed and disorienting color scheme. I think I like the single-glaze effect better.
