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.
PRAW Bracelet – 2 hours – Cindy earl Higgins – $18
PRAW? That is the acronym for Prismatic Right Angle Weave. A customer showed me how just a few days ago and it works up easily. In looking around I saw other variations and have some ideas to try. I am checking out color combinations to make my sample.
I will post a photo when my sample is finished.
If you want to come in and work on some of your Un-Finished Objects, we have the space. Beading, Rubber Stamping, Mixed Media… all are welcome.
If you wish to use our tools a $5.00 bench fee applies, free otherwise (plus the cost of any of our supplies you might need to complete your project).
Keeping close in memory those who laid down their lives for our freedoms.
The Mercantile will be open our regular hours (10 AM – 5:30 PM), as we always have been on this day.
Initially Speaking – 2 hours – Terri Earl Brooks – $20

Cocktail Napkin Cards – 2 hours – Cindy Earl Higgins – $20
You may ask how can you make greeting cards out of cocktail napkins… let Cindy show you a variety of ways.
Not all of these cards pictured were done in one class, but all were made with cocktail napkins. We will make 4 cards and they will vary class to class based on what napkins work with the design ideas Cindy has in her head.
Wishing all fathers and father figures a Happy Fathers Day!

Upcycled Quilling – 2 hours – Cindy Earl Higgins – $18
Upcycled Quilling??? What is that??? We will use everyday items that are no longer useful in their present form and turn them into quilled pieces to decorate your home. Cindy plans to make a couple of Christmas items as well as some everyday ones.
