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.

All-Purpose Monster Miniatures
These are two all-purpose monster miniatures for use in a Dungeons & Dragons game. I don't have any games going on currently, so I guess these will have to wait. I made them a few weeks ago. I was working at the pottery studio on a Saturday night when suddenly a large, noisy group of people turned up for a "clay party." They were weekend revelers and I was there to work. I felt trapped in the room where I was working. While I waiting for the pot I was making to dry, I made these bold artistic statements.
