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.

Unfired Ent
There is an Treant/Ent character in Beyond the Crystal Cave, although it doesn't appear in any combat encounters. I wanted to make an Ent sculpture to use as a visual aid and this is what I came up with. It needed a support, but the wooden dowel in the top picture was too tall to fit on my shelf, so I used the doll instead.
