More than 100 attendees participated in this year's Tools & Techniques Program on Sunday morning. Twelve knowledgeable instructors offered a variety of fascinating "how to" demonstrations. People could walk about and see all of the presentations, or concentrate on whatever they wanted to learn the most. Offerings included a lecture on LED lighting, how to cut a perfect circle, make quarter-scale food or a cloth book, and more. There was something for everyone.
