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.

Loveable Cambrian Chordates WIPs

Finished Pikaias

That last post about Impish Santa Mugs makes me aware of the encroaching Christmas season, about as close as I get to feeling Christmasy, even though it's only the middle of October.  What does one do when the Holiday onslaught seems imminent?  The obvious answer is to prepare by making extra pikaia, those loveable Cambrian chordates from the Burgess Shale.  The one on the right is one of last year's crop of pikaia.
