ABOUT
Linda always strives to find sustainable solutions for both humans and nature. Her work ranges from design, art and craft. She collaborates with several textile artisans and enjoys to dig deep into subjects. Her design process most often starts with a material or technique that leads her towards the aesthetic outcome. Her aim is to make long lasting high quality products with a clear presence of the hand. In her artistic practice she explores natural pigments and indigo dyeing and creates interactive art projects. Linda also conduct workshops and holds lectures on the topics of indigo as well as natural dyeing in combination with various patterning techniques.
She is one of two founders of BOOM craft studio.
