My aim is to inspire

Jill Kipnis, textile artist, teacher, mentor and lecturer


Embroidery ignites my passion. It's a craft, a form of self-expression, and a path to inner peace. I aim to inspire creators of all levels, guiding them to transform "I can't" into "I can."

My teaching is about empowering my students

to realise their creative aspirations. 


I am an accomplished embroidery expert and artist with a passion for teaching.

I aim to help you develop your unique style and enhance your techniques.


As a trained professional from The Royal School of Needlework and a 25-year fellow.

 I am an expert in all aspects of embroidery, including traditional hand techniques and machine embroidery. With a BA Hons in Textiles & Fashion, I have a solid understanding of design processes. 


I specialise in teaching individuals and small groups and can create tailored classes focusing on your specific embroidery needs. 

I have effectively guided learners of all ages, from young children and the very able stitch community to those experiencing dementia, helping each individual achieve their potential.


Whether you want to improve your design skills or master particular techniques, I will ensure you complete a project you can be proud of.

  Specialist classes in embroidery techniques & design. Lectures are given on all aspects of embroidery at all levels


I love tailoring day classes on a technique for groups from school children to adults


Workshops can be delivered across the World via Zoom
