- It has been a year now that our arts guru Terry Cotter The Potter has been giving us his unique insight into the world they call “Art”. To celebrate this (and the fact that it is time for a break) we will publish some of his reviews for your delectation and delight. Remember this one?
Hello,
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.
I’ve made some plates for my local pub The Misgoynist and Duck as they have expanded their food sales. I call them surf n turf n earthenware.
Here are some reviews of some of my favourite bits from the world they call “Art”.
1. Painting
The Guernica – Picasso’s most famous. I gurn a lot too. Especially if I eat pickled food.
2. Movies
Gone With The Wind – Set in America. He doesn’t give a damn in the end. Nice staircase though. Goes on a bit.
3. Music
The Sex Pistols – Never Mind The Bollocks – I love a bit of folk rock, this is what Emerson Lake and Palmer would have sounded like if they hadn’t split up. Goes on a bit.
4. Literature
Yann Martell – Life of Pi – Pies don’t last long in my house! There’s a tiger in it. The book not the pie. Goes on a bit though.

The Local Cult’s Proposed Mass Suicide
Elsie has a sprained ankle and this event has been postponed. Keep an eye out in the Post Office window for a new date.

Ah, Mr Cotter is still one of my favourites! 🙂
Good – your poem review is coming up again!
A whole year, and the artistic establishment has yet to take to heart any of Terrys advisements.
Hmph.
Very wise!
A whole year of Mr. Cotter’s pottering and it never once felt like it went on a bit!
Well said Sandy!
I often thought – what if Terry Cotter, Bob on the Pot, Oily George and Aunty Bill all got together for a gratuitous reunion special? (Except it wouldn’t be a REunion, just a union, I suppose.) And they all fight over the last piece of sausage?
It is something to ponder on my summer holiday! So much ego round a small table……
How about Terry reviewing Oily?
I can do that one now Frank – “Goes on a bit”
