Patrick Horsley is known for functional slab-built, wheel thrown or thrown and altered glazed stoneware platters, bowls, vases, and teapots. Horsley fires his pieces to 2100 degrees F in a reduction atmosphere.
A second body of graphic work consists of graphic ceramic forms with brightly colored matte glazes formulated and made by Horsley. Surface Technique used to obtain the surface patterns is a combination of liquid wax resist to create sharp lines and the sprayed-on layering of glazes. Primarily Horsley uses oxides of manganese and copper to achieve the desired range of colors. Surfaces of this body of work ranges from semi-matte to very dry sculptural glaze application. 1
Horsley stated that he wants his, "glaze colors to be strong, pure, and matte in surfacae to produce sharp graphic patterns and glazes that absorb rather than reflect light." 2
