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

LITTLE ARTISTS

KID’S CLASSES

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.

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!

Classes will introduce kids to textiles and fine arts in a fun way to get them interested in going deeper with art as they get older.

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.

Older and younger children may sit in on class, but classes are designed for 3 – 5 year olds.

BUBBLE ART Kids will use bubbles to create a FUN, unique work of art. This teaches the mind to think outside the standard form of drawing art. It’s innovative technique to mix play with art.

Me-Made-May is a challenge designed to encourage people who sew/knit/crochet/refashion/upcycle garments for themselves to actually wear and love them. The me-made and selfstitched challenges have been taking place for over four years now and they work on both a personal and community level. The participants decide the specifics of their own challenge pledge, so that the month is appropriate and challenging for them (more on this below). A very common pledge is for a participant to aim to wear one selfstitched or refashioned garment each day for the duration of May 2014. The participants can also choose to document their challenge with daily photos (though this is in no way compulsory for taking part) and share them with other participants.

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.
