Sculpture, entitled Vernacular Piece III, by Frank Pottinger

Add to album

This stoneware sculpture entitled 'Vernacular Piece III' was made by the Scottish artist Frank Pottinger in 1987. It formed part of the Scottish Crafts Collection, which was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland when the Scottish Craft Council was wound up.

The sculpture was made using slab construction. The intent of the design was to reflect many aspects of the Northeast of Scotland: visually the landscape, music making, work, speech or dialect.

Frank Pottinger was born in Edinburgh in 1932. He lives and works still in Edinburgh, but has served as artist in residence throughout the U.K. and in Germany. His sculptures have been exhibited widely throughout the world.
