Bloom received her Bachelor of Science in Fiber Science & Apparel Design from Cornell University and has studied Sculp- tural Fibers at Syracuse University. She first discovered textile art in a high school Fibers class. While at Cornell, she focused her major in Apparel Design, but maintained a love for the art of textiles. While working
as a Fiber’s studio assistant at Peters Valley Craft center in 2007, Bloom learned more in- depth hand-dyeing techniques from artists such as Jean Cacicedo, Sissi Siska, and Kerr Grabowski. Bloom began exploring weaving several years later and has recently focused on hand weaving and hand dyeing in her woven artwork.
