about us
In 1942 the Army Arts and Crafts Program was established to increase morale and find artists to help with enhancing buildings and grounds of Army facilities. The program was so successful that the Army created the “Arts and Crafts Section of Special Services” to “fulfill the natural human desire to create, provide opportunities for self-expression serve old skills and develop new ones and assist the entire recreation program through construction work, publicity, and decoration.”
Today the Stuttgart Arts and Crafts Branch of Family and MWR is a dynamic and vibrant Arts and Crafts program with two facilities, retail operations, and a robust catalog of skill developing instructional classes. We offer activities that provide deployment stress relief and resiliency to Family members and Soldiers returning from deployment. The Arts and Crafts program continues to promote Soldier and Family morale, and fosters individual self-improvement and enriches the community’s cultural quality of life by offering affordable and quality creative arts instruction and hands-on assistance.
It is a pleasure to serve in the Stuttgart community and we hope that you will find your

ART EDGE Patch Arts and Crafts Center has a partnership with Child Youth and School Services (CYSS) to bring you the Art Edge program. Art Edge courses are four week developmental courses designed to provide a more in depth look at that particular art form. Art Edge courses must be registered for through the Parent Central Services office. Call DSN 430-7480/7488 or CIV 0711-6807480/7488 for more details.
Manga Anime artists of all skill levels will benefit from this ongoing drawing workshop. Students will be able to evaluate their own needs and focus on areas that need improvement, such as eyes, hands, hair, etc. Students brand new to Manga drawing are also welcome to attend and will start with the basics of human form.
LITTLE ARTISTS Encourage the little artist in your child at an early age to promote creativity and selfesteem. Little Artist classes are designed for parents to be hands-on with their child to complete the project. Therefore we recommend no more than two children per adult to get the most out of the class. Classes will focus on motor skills, creativity and skill building. Don’t expect a masterpiece, but remember that to your child every one of their creations is a work of art!
Having fun with Mixed Media Take a blank canvas and day by day add a new layer of depth with different media and textiles to create a one of a kind work of art.
Older and younger children may sit in on class, but classes are designed for 3 – 5 year olds.

WHY CRAFT? PHYSICAL Crafting at a young age helps children develop fine motor skills and eyehand coordination. Crafts like clay handbuilding also help develop strength, and of course imagination! FAMILY The family that crafts together stays together, right? That may not be far off. When you craft with your child you are helping build a bond that will last forever. SOCIAL Bringing your child to a group setting helps them get used to being around other kids and sharing space and supplies. It’s also an opportunity for you to meet other parents with kids the same age! EMOTIONAL Crafting can be an excellent way to relieve stress and express inner emotions. It can also be a lesson in patience and disappointment! So no matter if the craft is a disaster or a masterpiece, there is something to learn from the experience. SPIRITUAL The sense of accomplishment kids feel after completing a project is what makes craft classes so rewarding. You child will feel good about knowing they made something on their own.

DO YOU TEACH? If you have an art or craft skill and enjoy helping others please consider joining our contracted teaching team. We are
currently seeking a stained glass and lampwork bead instructor; a Wilton certified Cake Decorating instructor; and someone who loves paper crafting of all forms to teach classes such as rubber stamping, lettering, and mixed media. Before you begin there are some things you have to do. Our process goes as follows: 1. Bring us samples of your art so we can see what you do. 2. Teach our staff a sample class so we can get an idea of your teaching style and what the class is like. 3. Fill out some paperwork. There’s a bit of that. To make it go faster here’s some things you can get ready now: resume, lesson plan, samples to promote the class. 4. Sit back and wait. It takes a bit of time to write a contract so during this time you can work on more samples and really prepare your class syllabus. We depend on members of our community to round out our curriculum, so if you see a hole in our programming that you can fill, please consider teaching!
