Toni Tooker

Toni's weaving career has reflected the color and tempo of the places she's lived. She began weaving in New Mexico, then on to Cororado where sheep ranching provided the materials for warm shawls and throws. Later, time spent on the hot, humid coast of Texas led her to experiment with the fine yarns available in cotton, silk, rayon and tencel...the fibers she most frequently works with now.

Toni is known for her scarves, shawls and table linens. Color and texture are her fascination, and her goal for each handwoven piece is that it strongly appeal to the visual and the tactile senses. Only when both come together does she consider a piece successful.

Toni and her husband now reside once agian in New Mexico, where she is a member of the Las Aranas and Fiber to Finish Guilds. Her work can be seen here in Tomé and at:
