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.

The Wiwaxia Contingency Plan WIP

Finished Green Wiwaxia sculpture

Even in the real fossil Wiwaxia from the Burgess Shale, broken spines were common.  Yet when I accidentally broke off one spine, I felt compelled to destroy the whole thing and dump it in the slip bucket.  I'm making several new Wiwaxia as a contingency plan in case another one breaks.
