Our arts correspondent Terry Cotter The Potter and his unique insight into the world they call “Art”.
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.
1. Painting
The Creation Of Adam – Michelangelo stuck this on the roof of the Sistine Chapel. I got a crick in my neck looking at it. Why didn’t he paint it on the wall?
2. Movies
The Exorcist – Devil visits a girl, she vomits pea soup, is potty mouthed and finds a new way to use a crucifix. Max Von Sydow sorts it out. Goes on a bit (I think – had me eyes closed most of the time. Slept with the light on that night!) – by the way Devil spelt backwards is lived.
3. Music
Back In Black – AC/DC – Titchy Australian dresses up as schoolboy and a dwarf Geordie in a cap perform songs about their giant penises and the pleasure their todgers bring to women whilst they down fifteen bottles of whiskey a night. Goes on a bit.
4. Literature
War And Peace – Tolstoy – There’s a bit of war then a bit of peace. Then a bit more war and then a bit more peace. Goes on and on and on and on and on for a bit.
Village News
The vicar’s wife has darned the net and so the annual table tennis tournament will take place this weekend in Budgen’s frozen food section. First prize will be a packet of Quorn Sausages.
‘Til next time – The Wheel Keeps On Turning!

As usual Terry is spot on. I am surprised the Vicar’s wife is the only one who could (or would) darn the net. I am sure a bunch damned it given the prize in the tournament.
Funny bunch in the village John
The best review of War and Peace ever!!!!
Quite probably Frank!
I’m surprised Terry never reviews the great potterizers of history.
Weren’t the Mings doing some neat stuff in China at some point?
Professional courtesy.
Or maybe the thought didn’t cross his mind Red!
As always you have a great idea Guap!
As an artist, this was eye-opening! I am afraid I will miss the annual table tennis match. Eat a sausage for me. 🙂
Chomp chomp Susie!
