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.

Kraken Tentacles, Batch 1
A future session of D&D Encounters has the brave adventurers fighting an enraged kraken that lives in the sewers of New Neverwinter. Actually they only fight its tentacles. After I made these four, I realized that the kraken tentacles are minions, meaning that they only have one hit point and, since I won't need to keep track of how many hit points they have left, they don't need to be easily differentiable from each other. The second batch is much more uniform.
