Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, ceramic artist 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.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
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.

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.
