This is a set of clay rune stone with the runes carved into the clay. I glazed them in two groups. The black glaze dripped into the carved lines in the first firing and came out with a texture that looks like drops of water in the second firing. Next time I want to try to decorate them with slip (liquid clay).
The rune stones are 1 inch by 2 inches and about a quarter inch thick.

Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in the medium of stoneware clay for 21 years, developing a practice rooted in literal construction and obsessive repetition. He makes non-traditional ceramics in a medium built on tradition, exploring the overlap between wonder and revulsion. Subject matter includes sympathetic monsters, insects, opossums, fast food mascots, and Halloween kitsch.
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.
