About Sumo
Sumo is a textile artist who concentrates in weaving and natural dyes; mostly dyeing her own yarn for weaving with various plant matters. She graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a B.F.A in Fibers in spring 2016, and currently practices her craft at Art Garden in Asheville, NC. Tapestry weaving is one of her favorite forms of weaving since it holds so much room for creativity and exploration compared to floor loom weaving.
