Although we do not carry open stock of beading supplies or rubberstamping supplies, we are available to schedule small (1 – 4 people) A-La-Carte classes preferably starting in the mornings on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays before we open for business. Please contact us if you are interested.
We prepare our class and events by request. If there is something you would like to learn, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your request, either in the form of one of our previous sessions or through other arrangements. Scrolling back through the class schedule will show some of the classes we have done in the past. **At the moment, our calendar is not functioning in a way that we can add anything new. Please check the “News” page for any classes or events. Thank you for your patience. **
Crafting A-La-Carte is available Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day (mornings 9-11 & afternoons 1-3, we are flexible about those times). The time is available for class but nothing is scheduled until someone reserves the time. The first person to reserve the time chooses what the class will be. We need a minimum of 24 hours notice so we can prepare (some classes require 48 hours to prepare materials). Most classes are available (dependent upon materials availability).
One time of the year that it is difficult to schedule specific Saturday classes is football season. Pendleton is in such close proximity to Clemson that our traffic flow is greatly affected at certain times of the day on home game Saturdays. And our students, who many of which are also fans, are not always able to attend. We therefore schedule a variety of A-La-Carte and Open Studio times instead for those who wish to work around football.
In honor of our 25th Anniversary in Business, and the Stamp Convention in Greenville, we are hosting a STAMP-A-THON and SALE. Starting on Thursday, we will be running a three day sale of a variety of stamping merchandise. We are not just clearing out “old stock” to make room for new. We are Celebrating!!! On Friday, we will stay open late, until 8pm. We will not only have our sale on, but we will be having a stamp-a-thon. Lots of make and takes, make one or make all. On Saturday, Terri will be offering her Beyond Dylusions class in the morning. She has redesigned this class a little bit so that it is doable in the 2 hours. Of course it is a morning class and she won’t kick you out if you need a little more time. Join us for the fun!!

HISTORIC PENDLETON SPRING JUBILEE began in 1978 as a means to inaugurate tourism in Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Counties. It has become so much more – a rite of spring, award-winning event, premier festival of the upstate and a source of pride in the community.
The Mercantile will be open Sunday hours during the event.
This wrap bracelet is as easy to construct as it is to wear. Join Terri as she guides you through the construction of this bracelet. Please note that color variations will be available, and choices may vary dependent upon which beads are currently in stock at the time of the class.
