Schedule of Classes & Events

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. **

Classroom

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.

LuLaRoe Katie Dante Pop Up Boutique
Mar 31 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Our friend Katie Dante will be bringing her selection of LuLaRoe clothing for you to shop right here at The Mercantile. This is a great time to pick out some fresh fashions for Spring!

LuLaRoe is a line of easy-care, comfortable clothing for women, men and children.  They are well known for their buttery soft leggings, but their collection spans tops, skirts, dresses, and “sweaters” in a variety of styles.  The sizing ranges from XXS to 3XL for women and the children’s sizes cover from toddlers to teenagers.  Men’s sizes I have not looked at yet, so I cannot say how they range.

LuLaRoe only makes a limited number of items in a variety of sizes from each fabric, if you see a print you like in a size that fits, you need to get it because it may not show up again.  The consultants/stylists can only order by size & style, the rest is a mystery to them until they open the boxes.
