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 feel like I'm frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can.

American Gothic Cup Practice Objects
These are meant to be the stern-looking farmer from Grant Wood's painting American Gothic. I also made a mug using the same farmer and these were used as practice for that. I used an off-white glaze called Queens which usually comes out brownish when applied lightly. I did apply it lightly, but the glaze was probably too thick and it came out a uniform off-white which doesn't show the details that well.
