Arts Scene – With Terry Cotter The Potter

August 22, 2012 by gingerfightback

Hello Folks,

My name is Terry Cotter. I’m a potter.

I have been potterising for nearly two decades now. I stock a wide range of ceramic goods in my shop The Potter’s Reel, down here in Lower Swell. The shop is named after my potter’s wheel which goes round and round. Like a reel.

Did you enjoy The Olympics? I did although it went on a bit.

Since my last Column I’ve finished the mug handles I told you about and have now made the mugs. All I have to do now is attach the handles to the mugs and Bob’s Your Uncle!

Here are some reviews of some of my favourite bits from the world they call “Art”.

1. Painting

The Hay Wain – Constable’s most famous painting. I always thought he was a Policeman. It threw me for a while when my mate told me he wasn’t.

2. Movies

Die Hard – A bloke wearing a vest kills the bloke who played a wizard in Harry Potter. He can’t have been much of a wizard if he lets a bloke in a vest kill him. Goes on a bit.

3. Music

The Bee Gees – How Deep Is Your Love? – My fiancée went twelve feet deep once. Dropped her engagement ring down the drain you see. She fished it out with a coat hanger.

4. Literature

Lord Of The Rings by Tolkien – A little lad with Big Feet defeats Evil by throwing his ring away. Maybe that’s what my girlfriend was trying to do all along. Goes on a bit though.

5. Pole Dancing

Thursday’s Pole Dancing class that was due to take place in the Barbers has been cancelled. Nobby has put his back out.

‘Til next time – The Wheel Keeps On Turning!

Terry needs to post more so I can sound more knowledgeable around the watercooler with my snob co-workers.

  We’ll see – he’s hastilytrying to rearrange the Pole Dancing class – Nobby’s back permitting.

Technically, he became a wizard after Die Hard. Yippee Ki yay….

You know your movies, Terry! I don’t know how you find the time given your pottery preoccupation! Maybe that’s why you feel so many of the movies go on a bit! You are simply pressed for time. I hope that now the Olympics are over you can relax a bit! Debra

    Do ask him – will he pot by commission? I could do with a large one for tomato plants.

    On the Vine or Beef Tomatoes – it will affect the diameter you see.

I was just thinking the other day, what Jim’s column needs next is a really excellent potting expert!

  Is there a burgeoning psychic connection growing between us Kate?
