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.

Pikaias 6 and 7

Pikaia 6



Pikaia 7
I've already written about this elsewhere, but I'm not over it yet, so I'll write it again.  This was the first time in about a year that I've put my work out in the kiln shed to be loaded and unloaded by the regular kiln volunteers instead of reserving a kiln and doing it all myself.  The result was a broken tentacle.  I used the pikaia with the broken tentacle as a glaze test.  I don't think the reddish brown glaze looks good on pikaias.
