HANDWOVEN ARTISTRY IN COMMUNITY

The Rebel Textile Collective is a haven for beginners and experienced weavers with a passion for the craft. We are committed to producing luxury handwoven fashion and household goods while exploring the boundaries of our craft. We offer weaving workshops for beginners and beyond and encourage students of all skill levels to join

our studio community.

Our studio is currently undergoing renovations following a fire in 2024. We hope that the renovations will be completed fall 2025.

Megan Crouse

Megan discovered her passion for weaving in 2019 after witnessing a young artisan in Oaxaca, Mexico working a backstrap loom—an inspiring moment that sparked her creative journey. Based in Richmond Hill, Megan enjoys teaching classes from the Rebel Textile studio, a space that also houses her expanding loom collection. In addition to creatively upcycling loom waste, she specializes in weaving functional textiles like tea towels, rugs, and shawls, blending tradition and technique on both multi-shaft and rigid heddle looms.

Christine Berkowitz

As an historian, Chris is drawn to the preservation of a traditional craft with a modern twist. Taught by her mother to sew and knit at an early age, Chris is part of a deep family tradition of creative women who produced functional household linens and clothing for their families. Chris' focus is on colour and structure and a belief that the functional can and should be beautiful.
