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.

Dwarf Spirits
These are the three dwarf spirits for this week's episode of D&D Encounters. I intended to create Tolkien dwarves, but I think they came out more like Disney dwarves. I don't think I'm going to actually use them. They're a little taller than the orc spirits and they're also top heavy, so when the proprioception-challenged Warforged bard collides with the table for nth time, they'll fall on their big noses, a completely unacceptable afterlife situation for dwarves.
