Pages





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.

Eyelash Mite

This is a ceramic interpretation of Demodex folliculorum, the eyelash mite, a tiny arachnid which lives its entire life in and around human hair follicles.  I probably have Demodex living in my face and so do you.


















It gets me so hot when you stalk my arachnid.

More Painted Cannabis Leaves






Rhino Wraith

It's an excuse to sculpt a rhinoceros head set atop a simple, flattened out body with claws and a series of hoop-like structures suggesting ribs.
