Hi there,
Do you happen to know if Jason Shackleton is at Laurieston House Pottery at the moment. I’ve been trying to get hold of him and leaving my number on an answerphone, but no response yet….
We are building a house in Cornwall and hoping Jason can do some ‘squid’ tiles for us for the kitchen.
He knows me as Charlotte Dickie’s cousin.
Hi Clarissa
I believe that he is still at Laurieston House but will check around and see if anyone knows anything…
kind regards
Alex

He might have be having a bit of a wrestling match with his answerphone …….. so best to ring a few times waiting for him to answer personally.
