Crafting Creativity: Meet Linda Owens of Loos Creative Space

Linda’s work is a celebration of nature’s beauty, thoughtfully preserved in her unique pieces.

The Claremont Artisan Market on December 14, 2024, is shaping up to be a must-visit event for lovers of handmade artistry, and among the talented makers is Linda Owens of Loos Creative Space. Linda’s work is a celebration of nature’s beauty, thoughtfully preserved in her unique pieces. From handcrafted charcuterie boards to workshops designed to share her craft, Linda brings a fresh and personal touch to every creation.

Here’s a closer look at her inspiring story and the one-of-a-kind art she’ll be showcasing at the market.

From Passion to Purpose: The Journey of Loos Creative Space

Linda’s creative journey began 20 years ago when she first started painting. Over the years, her artistry evolved, leading her to experiment with preserved flowers, wood, and resin. This combination became the hallmark of her work, capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature in long-lasting art pieces.

Her handcrafted charcuterie boards and homeware items stand out for their intricate designs and meaningful details. Many of her creations serve as memorial pieces for weddings, funerals, and special occasions, blending artistry with deep emotional value.

This year, Linda expanded her offerings by introducing High Tea Cheeseboard Classes, where participants can learn to craft their own unique pieces while enjoying a delightful high tea experience.

Inspired by Nature and Sustainability

Located on a bush property surrounded by gum trees, Linda’s studio is more than just a workspace—it’s a source of constant inspiration. The natural beauty around her informs her work, from the flowers she preserves to the wood she incorporates into her creations.

Linda is committed to sustainability, sourcing materials locally from Western Australian businesses or her own property. She takes great care to avoid waste, ensuring every bit of wood, resin, and flowers are used in her designs. This mindfulness extends to her finished products, which are crafted with care to be both beautiful and eco-friendly.

A World of Creativity: Charcuterie Boards and Beyond

Linda’s creations have captured the hearts of customers not just in Australia but around the globe. This year, her handcrafted charcuterie boards—encased with local native flowers—found homes in far-off places like Canada, England, and Russia.

These boards are more than functional pieces; they are works of art that celebrate nature and craftsmanship. Each board is carefully made to reflect the beauty of the Australian landscape, making them the perfect gift or centerpiece for gatherings.

Balancing her creative business with a full-time job has been one of Linda’s biggest challenges. Evenings and weekends are spent in her studio, turning her passion into tangible pieces of art. Despite the hurdles, her dedication shines through in her work.

Linda dreams of turning her part-time business into a full-time adventure, where she can dedicate more time to creating and growing her brand.
