Kippian Inglis

Kippian Ingles was introduced to plant-based dyes after more than 30 years of dyeing wool with acid dyes for the quilting market. What she discovered transformed her love of color and reshaped her creative work, inspiring her to help move fiber arts toward more sustainable and safer practices.

Stitching has always been a source of joy and comfort for Kippian. Her passion for teaching began during her college years as part of her costume design program, and she later held second jobs teaching both machine and handwork at quilt shops during the growing popularity of quilting.

After retiring, Kippian decided to devote herself full-time to working with plant dyes and natural fibers and to sharing what she has learned with others. Her work brings together a lifelong love of color, textiles, stitching, and teaching, with a focus on creating beautiful fiber art in thoughtful and sustainable ways.
