Founder and Owner

Meet Ethan

I've been a fiber artist in one form or another since middle school, which is around the time my lifelong obsession with the work of J.R.R. Tolkien began. I brought these two passions together to found Refracted Light Fiber Arts (RLFA) in 2024 so I could help other crafters nurture their creativity using the best materials nature gives us. 

Now, I want to learn as much as I can about the ancient craft of natural dyeing and help you go further up and further into your own creative pursuits. I run RLFA out of my basement in Waukesha, WI, where I dye all the yarn myself.
