Johana Cordero is a textile and fashion artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Textile & Fashion Studies from Sheridan College and NSCAD University. With more than fourteen years of dedicated craftsmanship and eight years of teaching experience, she brings a deep technical foundation and a thoughtful, contemporary approach to her work.

Her practice is rooted in experimentation, education, and a commitment to advancing textile art. Johana combines traditional weaving, embroidery, and natural dyeing with modern design sensibilities, creating refined textiles characterized by strong material awareness and technical precision. She has produced custom pieces and installations for Summerhill Market, Blue Mountain Resort, Villa Jasmine St Barth, Toyota, and for film and television productions.

Sustainability and storytelling are central to her process. Working with natural and responsibly sourced materials, Johana creates textiles that honour cultural heritage while reflecting the narratives and values of her clients. Through meticulous technique and intentional design, she strives to build a meaningful connection between inspiration and finished cloth.

As the founder of Loom Studio, a weaving and textile arts space dedicated to preserving traditional craft and teaching process-driven design, Johana emphasizes the importance of understanding the time, skill, and intention behind handmade work. By sharing her knowledge, she seeks to foster deeper appreciation for the textiles that shape our everyday environments.

Loom Studio also collaborates with brands, retailers, and design firms to develop custom weaving activations, pop-ups, and team-building experiences. Past collaborators include Simons, Roots, Yabu Pushelberg, LUUM, Stackt Market, Pencil, and Dart Studio.

Her work has been featured in In The Hills and The Toronto Star.

“My work begins with a respect for textile tradition and a commitment to thoughtful, process-focused design. I’m drawn to the structure of weaving—the planning, the materials, the decisions that shape the cloth—and to how those elements can hold meaning. Each piece reflects a balance of technique, intention, and curiosity, grounded in the enduring craft of woven design.”
