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.
Creative Kids – Pirates & Mermaids – 2 hours – $15/student – for ages 6 – 9
This is another in a series of 6 classes we are offering this Summer. Sign up for one, or sign up for all, which ever fits your Summer schedule.

We were honored to win the Masters Division this year with our Briar Rose display.
The fun was in the details. Everyone is still sleeping as the prince discovers Aurora (Briar Rose/Sleeping Beauty). Note that his tunic has a purple “C” and an orange paw print… The dog and cat are sleeping at the feet of the King, Queen and one of the guards. Down in the stable, the stable hand is also asleep near the dozing horse. The names of the horses in the stable are: Trigger, Silver, Mr. Ed and Rebel (the name of a local horse one of our little customers rides). Of course, the 3 fairy-godmothers are fluttering around the castle which is wrapped with briar roses.
Thank you to the customers/friends who helped with some of the details.
Thank you to the judges for choosing ours as the best representation of the theme (Once upon a time) this year.
