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.
To Market, to Market to buy goodies for the store!
We are closing a little early on Friday so we can get to Atlanta and be well rested for spending the nest 2 days looking at new things for the store. Terri has been preparing for this trip for a couple of months! :~)
We will be open again at our usual time on Monday morning 7/18/16!
Christmas Iris Folding – Cindy Earl Higgins – 2 hours – $20.00
We will not be folding flowers, in case you were wondering…
Learn the technique of folding papers to create wonderful designs. All of the designs will have an Christmas design or color theme (ALL new original designs will be introduced!)
Die Cut Card Class – 2 hours – Terri Earl Brooks – $20.00
Terri has again created some beautiful die cut cards. All materials are included in the cost of the class, and all shapes will be pre-cut to ensure ample time to finish the cards in class. (If requested, a demo of how to cut the dies will be done.)
Viking Braid – 2 hours – Cindy Earl Higgins – $18
Learn this ancient wire weaving technique to create a bracelet. Once mastered, there are many wonderful things that can be created with this sturdy wire braid. Decorative beads can be added to embellish as in the photo (bead availability will vary).
Shop, Dine & Explore Pendleton’s favorites!
We will be hosting Dyar’s Diner at The Mercantile again and are looking forward to a fun evening!
Our feature of the evening is a book signing! Catherine Garrison Davis and Elizabeth Garrison Rasor will join us to autograph their Night-Night Little Tiger book. You can either bring one you already have or buy one that evening.
We will also have some samplings of some of our gourmet foods and mixes. Dyar’s will most probably be sampling some of their delicious desserts as well.
We hope you can come and visit and see what’s going on.
Triskele – 2 hours – Cindy Earl Higgins – $18
These fun paper spheres are a design based on the Celtic Trinity Knot. Fun for placing in a basket or bowl on the table or hanging from a tree. Much easier than they appear!
Our LuLaRoe consultant friend Katie Dante is bringing her wonderfully comfortable clothes here to The Mercantile for another Pop-up Boutique! We planned it for 5 – 7 PM on Monday, August 15 so you can stop by on your way home from work.
LuLaRoe is known for their buttery soft leggings as well as their wonderful selection of skirts, tops and dresses and cardigans, all in sizes to fit from XXS – 3XL. In addition to that, they also have a wonderful line of children’s clothing.
What makes their prints unique is that only 1,000 – 2,000 items are made from each print. That print will show up in multiple sizes across several styles. But when they are gone, they are gone.
We will have refreshments available and are looking forward to a fun evening!
Make – n – Takes – Come when you can during the day
Come see what fun Make – n – Takes we have cooked up for you while we celebrate our 28th Anniversary!
If you want to come in and work on some of your Un-Finished Objects, we have the space. Beading, Rubber Stamping, Mixed Media… all are welcome.
If you wish to use our tools a $5.00 bench fee applies, free otherwise (plus the cost of any of our supplies you might need to complete your project).
