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.

This wonderful festival on the historic village green in downtown Pendleton, SC boasts about 100 vendors, entertainment, children’s activities and delicious foods (both from the vendors & the local eateries).
This festival occurs during the town-wide Scarecrow Contest. The conclusion of the voting and the announcement of the winners for the Scarecrow Contest is during the festival. (This year, the theme for the Masters category is “Honoring our Sister City” which is Stornoway, Scotland. In Scotland, scarecrows are “Tattie Bogles”.)
Spend the day visiting the local shops in our beautiful town as well as seeing what regional artisans have created.
This is a rain or shine event.
Village ordinances do not allow dogs on the Village Green during events for the safety of attendees.
