Workshops were held in the lower level of the Portage District Library from 1-4pm on Saturday, January 10, 2009 and the artists got to show their work, demonstrate different processes, network with other artists and encourage new artists, discuss course offerings. Despite the snowy weather and 6 inches of new snow over 100 people came and shared in the fun.
