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.

Chromosome Jug WIP



Santa Claus and Moon Beast Face Molds






Diseased Livestock Plague Masks




This one had a weak spot around the right eye socket, but it survived the bisque firing so I thought I was safe.  I was wrong.  It came apart in the glaze kiln.

Ten Plagues Masks WIP

Series of masks based on the Ten Plagues of Egypt.  


Water into Blood




Frogs



Wild Animals




Diseased Livestock

The eyes are a little spooky, but otherwise it doesn't look diseased.  This piece broke before it could be fired. 


This one came so close to surviving, but the right eye socket cracked.


Third try on diseased livestock:




Lice





Boils


Thunderstorm of Hail and Fire





Locusts


Darkness:

I pray for the soul of that easily broken beard.
