Diversity in Innovation and Creativity In North Norfolk, sustainable living is an ever growing choice for many people. Blessed with uncompromisingly beautiful surroundings, awareness of the need for sustainable lifestyle is rapidly growing. We have a wonderful response wherever we’ve exhibited. We like to think we inspire as well as sell. Rubbish is only rubbish when an object’s current form

North Norfolk

JAD/ March 12, 2019/ Environment, Life, Love, Re purpose, redesign, recreate, renew., recycling, Sustainability

North Norfolk is where we’re based. We travel from time to time, wandering around stimulates new ideas and also takes us to new work, sometimes. Nomadic, happy but essentially based here. I’ve traveled for decades and this is the first place I genuinely consider home. Perhaps not the bricks and mortar that most people consider home but home non the

St Edmunds Church, Thurne. The doorstep….

JAD/ February 20, 2019/ Environment, Life, Love, Re purpose, redesign, recreate, renew., recycling, Sculpture, Spirit, Sustainability

You may remember that way back in June I added a post about a beautiful piece of sandstone that we were lucky enough to get hold of? It has the most wonderful heritage and welcomed people to the Church for nearly 900 years. St Edmund’s Thurne Church sits in the beautiful North Norfolk countryside and incidentally, by a rather good

Black Swans of the Norfolk Broads

JAD/ February 18, 2019/ Environment, Life, Re purpose, redesign, recreate, renew., recycling, Sculpture, Spirit, Sustainability

Black Swans weren’t specifically the inspiration for SWAN but it is perhaps my favouirite piece. Impossible to appreciate without being in its presence. She stands around 6ft tall. We saw black swans waiting expectantly for food tit bits in the warmer water of a dyke by one of our local pubs last week. Striking by their colour, equally beautiful as

A Tidal Wave of Hopefulness….. J.A.D. style……

JAD/ May 14, 2018/ business development, employment, Life, Re purpose, redesign, recreate, renew., Spirit

The end of a long hard winter. We push vivaciously into Spring with a huge surge of hopefulness! J.A.D. Eclectic waits restlessly on tender hooks to hear the outcome of our bid for a small piece of paradise. It’s ideal to use as studio/ workshop/ sculpture garden/ cafe and wild camping/ glamping J.A.D. style.. It’s absolutely perfect for our work

Man Flu descends ……

JAD/ January 25, 2018/ Life, Love, Spirit

It had to land eventually….. 15 hours of heady, aching debilitation had been the precursor and not the real event…… and then, it got us…… well, one of us anyway. Eroded energies in an ebbing tide of motivation involved a semi-comatosed delve into cryptocurrency storage, collection and other stuff…… The conclusion is that; in an attempt originally to create an

Lord and Lady Muck….

JAD/ January 15, 2018/ Life, Re purpose, redesign, recreate, renew., Spirit

We’ve been musing on the concept of buying Manorial Titles. It really would have to be Lord and Lady Muck in keeping with our general ‘manorial’ environment and the pleasures therin…. But actually, we kind of like the anarchist principality of J.A.D. as it is without self-inflicting the responsibilities of ‘titledom’. Regardless, until we gain website access to PayPal properly,
