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.

The Remains of Ophanim Pot 1

Unfortunately, some anomaly of heat convection caused the glazes in this kiln to run and this piece was badly damaged.  It's two intertwined slab pots with a pattern of eyes and wings resembling the mythic angelic beings known as Thrones or Ophanim.

The lid was placed on a higher shelf and was the only part that didn't run.


The glaze ran down the side of the pot and stuck to the kiln shelf, so that when I tried to remove it, one chunk of the pot remained stuck to the shelf.
