In this year's SAQA Seminar, we discussed various tools and how they can be used. As textile artists, our box of tools can run the gamut from needles to rusty nails! Some of our tools have been around for generations, and some are new. Some are used in traditional ways, and some are used in unique ways by individual artists because, after all, necessity is the Mother of Invention.
