About Kumi Co. Crafts

::Crafter::

Kumiko Berryman
kumiberry@kumicocrafts.com

Kumiko came to United States to study psychology just a week after her graduation from high school. College years were fun, but she spent more time for craft works & computer than school study (oops!). After (barely) getting degree, she worked for a little while in US, but went back to Japan to stay with her parents for about 4 years. She met hand-carved stamp art during that time, and starts brushing up skills little by little. She moved back to United States to marry her most lovable husband John. He is a great encourager and always supports her. She's interested in her background cultural crafts works too, and her recent works are recycled vintage kimono/obi fabric products.
