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.

A-Muse Group
Sep 16 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am

A MUSE is a FREE group of creative souls that meets once a month, with a variety of topics on the agenda. It is a non formal gathering, with a lot of discussion and show and tell. The idea of the group is to explore a variety of techniques in a variety of media as a group. Each month we usually have an exercise for each member to create, contemplate and explore. If you are interested in joining us, call the Mercantile and let us know so that we can ensure there is enough seating for all.

Crafting A-La-Carte
Sep 19 @ 7:00 pm – Sep 19 @ 9:00 pm

 Is there a class you would like to take that is not on our schedule?  Then Crafting A-La-Carte is right for you!

Crafting a la carte was established when we realized that we offered so many different classes, and it was getting harder to offer a schedule that met everyone’s needs.  So how does it work?  We have days set aside as a la carte days.  There is not a class scheduled until someone reserves the time (24 hour advanced notice needed to prepare.), then they get to pick the topic.  We will run a class for as few as 1 person and as many as 6 normally.  If you have a larger group we can hold up to 15.  If you don’t see a class that you want please ask…we have a number of talented teachers who can do just about anything…… and we can customize classes as well, depending on what supplies we have on hand.
