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.

Tucson Folk Festival



My studio missed the 4th Avenue Street Fair this year, so we tried a new venue, the Tucson Folk Festival. I was there for a few hours on Saturday morning and there was very little interest in what we were displaying, even the cheap, collectively thrown "chicken" pottery which usually sells fast. Some time between when I left and when the festival was finished on Sunday afternoon, I sold seven chamsas:





It comes out to $73 in sales.
