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
time here artistically fulfilling and be able to say, “I’m glad I live here.”
How to use this book: At the beginning of the book you will find a Class List with the name of
the class, the age range it’s for, the dates and the times. Some classes span multiple dates, so
you’ll want to make sure you can attend all the sessions. The rest of the book has the class
descriptions and prices. There are also fun facts, tips and other information scattered throughout
the book. We hope you enjoy reading and find this format informative and useful.

kids & young adults
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 0711-680-
7480/7488 for more details.
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.
Edge Jewelry Time! Wire wrap jewelry
time. Learn how to make a bracelet, earings
and a ring using the wire wrap technique.
Add beads to give it a sparkle.
Beginning Knitting and Crochet Students will learn how to do the basic
stitches in either knitting or crochet. In these

the basics over and over again while creating
a wash cloth or a scarf. Each student will

skill.

Anime artists of all skill levels will benefit
from this ongoing drawing workshop.
Students will be able to evaluate their own

the basics of human form.
LITTLE ARTISTS Encourage the little artist in your child at an
early age to promote creativity and self-
esteem. 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!
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 eye-
hand coordination. Crafts like clay hand-
building 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?

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!
