Halko uses porcelain, slips and colorful glazes accompanied by hand drawn geometric patterns and organic shapes to create what she calls “utilitarian pottery” (Halko, Amy). Her pots are each unique with differing surface decorations that lie inside or under the lids. Many of her pots have a unique organic form designed for utility and daily use. Halko’s creates mainly dinnerware, large serving bowls, condiment sets that are each one of a kind made on the wheel then decorated.
