Simple geometric basic forms form the basis of Uta K. Becker's clear and unmistakable vessel architecture, which invites to ever new arrangements. Torn from the oven while still red-hot, the work is immediately cooled down in sawdust or in a hole in the ground. It makes the fine craquelé net with its cracks darkened by carbon smoke appear, which runs through the glazes of Becker's unique vessels with unique, delicate patterns.
