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.

Clay Angel Workshop $25 3 hours Cindy Earl Higgins
Cindy has had a few requests for a workshop on making hand-built ceramic clay angels. This workshop will be concentrating on the construction of the angels. More than one design will be covered.
After they have dried thoroughly and been fired once in the kiln, students can set up time to come in and glaze the angels for a second firing. All materials and the glazing session are included in the cost of the class.

Jo Hoffacker of Dogmaw Glass is making a return visit to Pendleton and will be having a 1-day Trunk Show here at The Mercantile.
Jo makes wonderful glass beads, buttons and glass-tipped head pins as well as other fun and unique items.
She will be demonstrating how to work with the headpins and integrating the glass into your designs.
At this time, I am not sure of all she will be bringing with her, but I will edit this and add as I learn more.
