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.
This wonderful festival on the historic village green in downtown Pendleton, SC boasts over 90 vendors, entertainment, children’s activities and delicious foods (both from the vendors & the local eateries). Spend the day visiting the local shops in our beautiful town as well as seeing what regional artisans have created.
This is a rain or shine event.

Build A Toad House – $25.00 – Cindy Earl Higgins
The toads need a cool dry place to hide away from the strong Southern sun. Cindy will have templates and texturing tools for building a ceramic Toad House for the garden out of Terra Cotta clay.
Build the Toad House in class, choose a color of glaze from the samples for the roof. Once they have dried thoroughly, Cindy will fire them, glaze the roof tops and fire them again.
I will post a photograph once the sample piece is fired. In the meantime, here is a photo of the sample in progress.
Toad house – it’s not finished yet, still needs glazing & firing!
