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. Want to wade through two decades of my neurodivergent art experiments, including all the failures? You're in the right place!

Fifteen-Eyed Pot
This pot was originally meant to be part of the Aberrant Meercat Pot. I meant for it to start out wide at the base, then get smaller, and then widen again, but it didn't look like the pot would support the weight of the sculpted head on top of it. I added a thick strip of clay to the narrow part, but I decided to make another pot with straight walls to use with the meercat sculpture. This is the reject. I covered it with a pattern of eyes and spent four hours glazing it. I like how it came out, but it's still a reject.
