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.

The Hairy Reptile Snowman

View the finished Wampa Cup here.

Tonight I consulted my list of clay projects and selected "Wampa Devotion."  It was intended to be a small grotesque sculpture with a molded wampa face.  The wampa is of course the hairy reptile snowman that assaults Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back, thereby explaining the facial scars from Mark Hamill's car accident within the Star Wars universe.

Instead I ended up with a Wampa Chalice.  I considered adding the tusks, but decided it didn't need them.
