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.
We are excited to welcome this new festival on the Pendleton Green. Antique Cars, Arts and Crafts, Kid Games and entertainment!!
At The Mercantile, we will be hosting a Kiss A Prince, Handcrafted Soaps and Bath Products Trunk Show!!
Stacy Prince, owner of Kiss A Prince has agreed to have her extended line of products for us to offer for sale, only during the festival. She has also created a special Celebrate Summer Show special just for the occasion. One Day only, purchase $20.00 of Kiss A Prince product, and you can pick one item from her goodie basket!!
Have fun creating pieces with clay. No, not Play-Doh or polymer clay, the ‘real’ thing! The pieces created will need drying time and then they will be fired for glazing later by appointment. And then, they will be fired again.
