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.

New Body for Aberrant Warthog Pot
I finished the Aberrant Warthog Pot back in February. It's a sculpted warthog head on a tower of small clay cups. I thought the cups were too primitive and also, they didn't fit together well and the tower seemed unstable. I made a new pot for the sculpture. The form is slightly less crude and the glaze came out very nice (although I missed a few spots on the inside). The head still doesn't fit right.
