Men's Textile Collective Foundation

MTCF brings hands-on textile arts to everyday mental health—breaking gender stigmas and dismantling barriers to care.

Based in Houston, we build inclusive, creative spaces where everyone, especially men, can heal through structured craft. Our founder, Brice Gaston is a disabled United States Airforce retired veteran, discovered firsthand how powerful crafting can be for mental health. That’s why we’re especially passionate about helping veterans and first responders discover the benefits of textile therapy. Through our projects, we’re not just crafting—we’re building something bigger: a community that supports mental wellness. Plus, a portion of our proceeds goes to veteran and first responder charities.

Building community starts with strong foundations. 🧶📐

We sat down with Dr. Terri King, founder and Executive Director of Fiber Arts Houston, to kick off a special series of conversations. In this first feature, Dr. King shares the inspiration behind launching her new fiber arts library and how creating a dedicated space for craft can transform our local community.

At MTCF, we believe in the power of Therapeutic Textile Arts and accessible tools to support mental health, self-expression, and healing. Spaces like this new library are essential blueprints for fostering connection and creative wellness right here in Houston.

Visit fiberartshouston.org to explore the new library, learn more about their mission, and see how you can get involved.

This is just the beginning of our interview series with Dr. King! Stay tuned for more insights on the connection between fiber arts, hands-on creation, and community well-being in our upcoming posts. 🧵✨

Hands-on creativity in action tonight at Montrose Grace Place! 🧶✨

We brought our creative kits out to connect, teach, and share the grounding practice of knitting and crochet with LGBTQIA+ youth. Fiber arts provide such a powerful, tactile stress relief, giving us all a structured space to unwind, focus, and build something meaningful together step by step.

Huge thanks to everyone who pulled up a chair, picked up a hook or needle, and helped create a warm, welcoming community tonight. Creative expression belongs to everyone, and we are so proud to support Houston’s youth with constructive mental health tools.

Swipe through to see the amazing progress and energy from tonight’s workshop! 📐🧵

Huge thanks to the amazing team at Quilters Dream Batting for connecting with us at h+h Americas! They donated a generous supply of high-quality batting to MTCF, and their warmth and enthusiasm for our mission meant the world to us.

Having reliable materials like batting helps us build a strong foundation for our Therapeutic Textile Arts workshops. Quilting and fiber crafts offer a unique form of Tactile Stress Relief, giving our community members constructive, hands-on ways to unwind, focus, and express themselves.

We are so grateful for industry partners who stand behind our vision of accessible, stigma-free creative wellness. Thank you to the incredible ladies at Quilter's Dream for wrapping our Fiber Arts Community Houston spaces in so much support!

Huge thanks to Raz Roncov ( ) and the entire team at Valdani Inc. () for connecting with us at h+h Americas! Their generous donation of multiple bags of thread and usable materials gives our community the essential building blocks for ongoing creative expression.
