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.

Wiwaxia WIP

I'm finally finished with all the major glazing from a large bisque load.  Now I'm starting a new building cycle with a Wiwaxia, a fossil sea creature from the Burgess Shale.

This one, unfortunately, didn't make it.



The new Wiwaxia along with an old one with broken spines and an illustration from Wonderful Life by Stephen Jay Gould.
