The original mugs:
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’m just frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can until I’m no longer able to do so.

Santa Mug Mold Objects
In October 2013, some kitschy miniature Santa Claus mugs appeared at the pottery studio. I used them as models for these Impish Santa Mugs. Recently, they resurfaced in the lost-and-found area of the studio and I decided to adopt them. I made molds from the faces and these are the results.
