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.

Nit Comb
This started out as a random piece of flattened clay from which I had cut some triangles and a circle. It looked like a Mutant Hamster Larva to me, so I fired and glazed it. It's since been pointed out to me that it would make a good nit comb - a comb for searching for louse eggs or nymphs on the scalps of elementary school students. My only regret is that I didn't have one of these back when I was a teacher.
