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.
Join Cindy and prepare to get a little dirty as she walks you through the construction of clay boxes, using slab-building and surface texturing. You will need to leave your boxes so they can dry and then fired. Cindy will let you know when they are ready for pick up. Let Cindy know if you would like to glaze your finished piece, and she will be happy to schedule a glazing session with you.

Crafting a la carte was established when we realized that we offered so many different classes, and it was getting harder to offer a schedule that met everyone’s needs. So how does it work? We have days set aside as a la carte days. There is not a class scheduled until someone reserves the time, then they get to pick the topic. We will run a class for as few as 1 person and as many as 6 normally. If you have a larger group we can hold up to 15. If you don’t see a class that you want please ask…we have a number of talented teachers who can do just about anything……
Wire wrapping is a wonderful way to display a beautiful object. This class will cover some of the basics of wire wrapping. If you have a set of favorite wire tools, please bring them with you.

Kathy is making up some solid color beads especially for this class and the cost of the beads are included. Join Kathy as she shows you how to create this stunning pendant. Each one you make will certainly be one of a kind!! This class is not recommended for someone who has not had any wire working experience. Wire working tools will be available for your use, although you are always welcome to bring your own to class.
