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.

Small Slab Menorah With Snakes and Eyes
This is a small (6.5 inches long, 5 inches tall) slab menorah with a pattern of snakes and eyes on it. I couldn't get the measurements of the slabs to come out right and ended up forcing them together instead of carefully fitting them, so it's a little irregular. It's colored with copper carbonate, which comes out green when applied lightly and a dull metallic gray when applied more heavily, with an off-white glaze on top of it.
