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.

Trunk Show!
Aug 13 @ 10:30 am – 5:30 pm

Dogmaw ArtJo Hoffacker of Mondo Mojo is making a return visit to Pendleton and will be having a 1-day Trunk Show here at The Mercantile.

Jo makes wonderful glass beads, buttons and glass-tipped head pins as well as other fun and unique items.

She will be teaching a class on how to make a Mini Fairy Garden with the headpins and more used in your design. (See Mini Fairy Garden class/event for more details.)

At this time, I am not sure of all she will be bringing with her, but I will edit this and add as I learn more.  (The photo right now is from her last visit.)

Jo’s Woolie Bracelet
Sep 26 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Jo’s Woolie Bracelet – 2 hours – Terri Earl Brooks – $30.00

When Jo came and held her Trunk Show in August 2015, she showed us all how to make this fun and funky bracelet.  Before she left, we were sure to get some of her hand made glass disc beads and buttons as well as some of her hand-painted cotton threads.  These will all work well to make up some fun bracelets.

The top is made of re-purposed wool fabric and the back is micro-suede for softness.

The bracelet in the picture is the one I made for our sister Regina.  As soon as Terri is able to get her sample done, I will switch to a picture of that.
