Classes include a variety of preschool, children’s and adult classes including drawing, painting, collage, manga, photography (35mm and digital), colored pencil, pottery, cartooning, mixed media, and Photoshop levels I and II. South Shore Arts also offers children’s workshops at all three locations.

At the Munster venue, classes meet in art studios on the lower level of The Center for Visual and Performing Arts, 1040 Ridge Road. Classes generally run 10 weeks during spring. Prices vary, depending on length of class and supplies.

The Crown Point branch, 123 N. Main St., offers classes in pottery, drawing, collage, fantasy drawing, Japanese art, painting and various children’s and adult classes. There are many one-day workshops also being offered for children.
