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.
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 feel like I'm frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can.

Warthog Pot Top and Bottom
This five-piece Aberrant Warthog Pot is my penultimate piece from 2012. The top and bottom made it into the glaze kiln, but the three middle pieces are still waiting in line. I love the way the sculpted warthog itself came out. I like how the white glaze shows through the darker red-brown glaze. I like how life-like (if unwarthoglike) the eyes came out. The coil pot that makes up the base, however, looks extremely primitive and the other pieces are not much better.
