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.

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.
