Arts Scene – With Terry Cotter The Potter

February 14, 2013 by gingerfightback

Hello,

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

I have been potterising for over 20 years and 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.

For Valentine’s Day, I’ve made some Ceramic Clogs. One size fits all. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Not sure now.

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

1. Painting

The Persistence Of Memory – Salvador Dali’s most famous piece. It Droops. Nope, not a clue. Sorry.

2. Movies

Love Story – Da de dah de dah – then she gets sick and croaks. Goes on a bit.

3. Musical

Les Miserables – Don’t know why they didn’t crack a few jokes or do animal impressions to cheer themselves up a bit. Rabbit impressions always make me titter. That’s the French for you. Goes on a bit.

4. Literature

Jane Eyre – Charlotte Bronte’s classic. She loves him. He loves her. Watch out for the pyromaniac first wife! Goes on a bit.

Village News

Next Week’s lecture by Peter Stench on The History Of The Drain has been cancelled by Mrs Griggs. If you are not happy you can sewer.

‘Til next time – The Wheel Keeps On Turning!

I’ll ask my mum if they did animal impressions, she’s seeing Les Mis for the second time. She’ll probably think I’m back on the drugs again

Ceramic clogs? I bet they make a really neat sound before they break into a million pieces.

Persistence of Memory is one of my favorite art pieces, but i’ve never been able to explain why.
from now on, I’ll jsut say “Well, you know…it droops. Artisticly!”

Ah, Jane Eyre! A fave of mine, but yes… does rather go on.
Also, “sewer” – indeed! Well it made me smile anyway…

I don’t know why the clogs didn’t work out! Try again, just make them all large and it should work out! The French Revolution with animals…brilliant addition!
