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.

Silverfish 1 and Chamsa 89

I had hoped this combination of glazes would come out as a slightly glittery, matte off-white, but it's definitely blue.  I don't like this silverfish enough to be disappointed, but I'm going to look into other options for the second silverfish sculpture.  This sculpture is twice the length of the source image, but the width is the same.  It makes the legs and antennae look distorted.


I used the same glaze combination ("Dry Matte Turquoise" over "Pussywillow") for Chamsa 89.
