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.

Pendleton Celebrates Summer!

We are excited to welcome this  festival back for it’s fifth year on the Village Green here in historic downtown Pendleton!

The day will include: Classic Cars, Arts and Crafts, Childrens Games, Food and Entertainment!!

The Mercantile will be OPEN our regular hours (10 AM – 5:30 PM).

During the festival we will have our friend Donna Persinger demonstrating her encaustic art techniques with some of her art  here as well.  If you are unfamiliar with encaustic art, it uses melted beeswax to create.  Below are a few examples of her art.

Summer 2018 Iris Folding – Cindy Earl Higgins – 2 hours – $20.00

Create 4 special cards for those very special occasions.

We will not be folding flowers, in case you were wondering… although some of the designs may be of flowers.

Learn the technique of folding papers to create wonderful designs.    Three of designs will be new… (one of them a modified portion of a previous design).  Since I broke my right arm before I had finished all of the new designs, I  have re-worked some older designs to fill the gap.

We will be making a Patriotic Star, a Beach Ball, a Dish of Icecream and  a re-play of the Sailboat.  Here are the completed cards:
