- Susan Codega had been creating fiber art for years when she found the medium and technique of felting fibers. There just seemed like so much breadth and possibility; she fell head over heels in love. I have compared the process of felting with kneading bread, making pottery and Japanese dry sand gardening. The fiber community in the Asheville area is expansive, exciting and supportive. Each of her hand-felted piece is original and one of a kind. Oh! Did I also say -- made with love? Susan's second line are 100 % wool felt items designed and constructed with machine-made felt. This beautiful "designer felt" comes in incredible colors that Susan makes into rugs, handbags, placemats, coasters etc. Susan Codega's studio can be found in the River Arts District of Asheville and is open to the public Monday through Saturday 11 am - 4 pm or by appointment. Visit our beautiful studio at 5 River Arts Place Suite 101, Asheville NC 28801, I am located within Curve Studios, a converted industrial building in the heart of Asheville's River Arts District that is home to working artists and galleries. The River Arts District is the epicenter of Asheville's nationally-recognized art scene.
