Cocoon

Greg and Carla Filippelli developed a free-form style of weaving called random weave in the 1980’s. Their fluid designs and shapes have evolved into functional baskets and sculptural art for the wall. Influenced by their natural surroundings, their work reflects love of nature and organic forms using hand-dyed reeds, fibers, and wild vines. Carla and Greg delight in creating one-of-a-kind baskets and custom pieces for residences and corporate spaces. Custom colors, sizes, and shapes are their specialty. They are represented by galleries and exhibitions nationwide. They are available for private lessons and teach group workshops to area school students and craft schools. Throughout the year, they have an open studio at Cranberry Creek their business of over 25 years. Open by appointment, please call ahead to visit their picturesque surroundings nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains around Asheville, NC.
