In his house in R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming
In an octopus's garden with you
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.

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.

Alien Stamp Objects
The angry round-headed alien is a drawing of the 1965 Valensole Encounter alien and the matronly one with the claws is the 1952 Flatwoods Monster.

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.
Death of the Firstborns
