Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny,
ceramicist 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.

This blog has served as a record of my ceramic output since 2006.

Driving Wands For Defense Against Aggressive Drivers

This was one of my earlier experiments with functional ceramics. I made four of these objects called driving wands in 2008 or 2009. The idea was to use them for defense against aggressive drivers. They had grotesque faces and I hoped they would stun angry drivers with their confusing glares. I never tried one because I was afraid it might make aggressive drivers more aggressive instead of leaving them in a confused stupor.
