The Arts & Crafts Center is a great place to grow. With craft classes, woodworking classes, welding classes and an Auto Shop, the Arts & Crafts Center caters to all types of hobbies.  Is there a particular project that you and your buddy are interested in completing?  Want to learn a new craft skill you’ve been meaning to learn?  If you answered yes to these questions, let our staff know and we will try to locate an instructor and set up a class catering to your particular interest.  Call the Arts & Crafts Center and let us help keep you crafty.

    The Vehicle Resale Lot is located adjacent to the new 23rd Services Squadron headquarters, right next to the Outdoor Pool.  Those interested in selling vehicles must register the vehicle with the Auto Shop and pay the requisite fees.  The Auto Shop is located in the Arts & Crafts Center.  Give them a call for more information or if you need help getting rid of your used car.

Plaque Shop, 257-4160
The plaque shop offers wood plaques, acrylic plaques, crystal plaques and glassware for gifts and squadron awards.

All of these items can be laser-engraved with your choice of letters.  The plaque shop also engraves metal plates and plastic for plaques and signs.  Prices vary according to the merchandise used and the services required.

All graphics must be in black and white line art, bitmap or jpeg.  The staff will help you with ideas and we also have a variety of catalogs which we can order from.
 

The Magic Touch system offers full-color photo quality images that are transferred to glass and acrylic awards, t-shirts (all sizes), sweatshirts, aprons, mousepads, pennant banners, coffee mugs, game day seat cushions, porcelain commemorative plates, photo prints (up to 8x10), koozies, magnets and stickers.

Personal graphic images must be line art, bitmap, ai, wmf or jpeg.  Personal photos must be in a jpeg format and can be brought in on either a floppy disk or a CD.  Images must be camera ready.  For more information and pricing, call the Arts & Crafts staff at 257-4160.
