Overview
Greetings, my name is Susie Cooke and I am the sole maker behind SMC Fiber Studio. I have been felting since 2010, when I moved back to my home state of Maine after living in the desert for many years. I worked my way through needle felting, wet felting and nuno felting, learning the different techniques and working on the skills necessary to create wearables on a larger scale. As there are limited resources for learning wet felting locally, I am self taught using what knowledge I could find through books, local resources, and the internet. In 2018 I opened my business Su-Z-Q Felts, which later became SMC Fiber Studio.
I specialize in OOAK felted wearables and home embellishment items made in the nuno and wet felting techniques. I use only the softest merino fibers for the wearables I make which include scarves, mittens, and jackets and source my fiber from as close as Maine to as far away as Australia. My decorative home items are made with durable wools in natural tones, perfect for any home and include baskets, pillows, wall hangings and table embellishments to name a few. My work is inspired by the Maine coast’s natural beauty where I live and recreate, and the seasonal changes our area enjoys throughout the year. I prefer earth tones and the natural textures that wool, silk and cotton provide in my pieces.
