When I sell my tiny chamsas at craft fairs, I've been putting them in a plastic container, but I think they would look better in something made of clay. This is a small, heavy coil pot with chamsas on the outside.
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.

Primitive Phallic Object WIP
This one didn't survive the firing process. Here are the remains.
I'm starting 2015 with a very primitive phallic monster. This one looks more like a penis cat than a penis dog. The top part comes off to reveal a secret compartment.

Fruit Bowl Project 2
This is my second attempt at the fruit bowl in the shape of female genitalia. it's much smaller and I've gotten further in the process, but I haven't decided whether or not to tear it down yet.
I decided to take this apart and reuse the clay for another iteration of the same project.

Fruit Bowl Project 1
I have a commission to make a fruit bowl in the shape of female genitalia.
This was my first attempt. I ended up destroying it and reusing the clay.
An important part of the fruit bowl is the enormous clitoris with an eyeball.

Tarot Angel 2: Michael
This is part of a series of depictions of the Hebrew archangels from the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. This one is from the Temperance card and is meant to be the archangel Michael. There is one more, the archangel Gabriel on the Judgment card, but I don't know if the series is worth continuing.

Eye Cup #35
This is the last of this batch of slab cups. I managed to sell two of them during this Festivus/Winter Solstice gift-giving season, along with a few other items, so I might have room to make more. This one has a ring of molded cat eyes on a strip of clay around the center.

Eye Cup #40
This is Eye Cup #40. It has a molded, fanged mouth and cylindrical eyes. It's not quite even on top. I don't think I have come any closer to reliably making symmetrical slab pots. I found a slide show from a middle school in Texas that details the process. I'm going to try to follow the directions.
