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.

Hunt For The Tattie Bogles
Oct 2 @ 11:00 am – Oct 30 @ 9:00 pm

There are Tattie Bogles (Scottish term for Scarecrow) hidden in 19 of Pendleton’s businesses.

Each participating business will have a sign on their door letting you know they are participating.

Pick up an entry form at one of those businesses and see which ones are hiding a Tattie Bogle. Find where one is hidden, and let an employee know so they can sign the form. They will then re-hide the Tattie Bogle for someone else to find.

Find them all & WIN ice cream from Mama Rae’s PLUS your name will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win an Original Handcrafted Tattie Bogle (designed by our very own Terri Earl Brooks and made right here at The Mercantile) PLUS a chance to WIN a $100 Gift Certificate to one of the participating businesses. There will be 21 winners – 20 Tattie Bogles and 1 Gift Certificate!

Sponsored by the Town of Pendleton and the Pendleton Area Business Association.

Crafting A-La-Carte
Oct 14 @ 11:00 pm – Oct 15 @ 1:00 am

 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 10.  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.
