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.
A fun array of things are in the works (including Mystery Discount, Make & Takes and more…) to celebrate 28 years of The Mercantile here on the sunny side of the square in beautiful downtown Pendleton, SC!
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!
The summer heat has gone to our heads!
Stop by The Mercantile and shop the Mondays in July and August 2016 and purchase at least $20 of merchandise (some exclusions apply, see store for details).

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).
Shop, Dine & Explore Pendleton’s favorites!
We will be having a guest artist at The Mercantile this month and are looking forward to a fun evening! Our friend Yvonne Park is a painter who works primarily in oils and displayed in front of the store during the Art Crawl in 2015.
Painting by Yvonne Lewis Park
Yvonne will be doing a drawing for one of her other pieces that evening. Stop by and see what beautiful paintings she has, as well as some hand painted jewelry pieces.
We will also have some samplings of some of our gourmet foods and mixes.
Dyar’s Diner has moved their samplings next door to Palmetto Place since one of the partners there is Meg Dyar.
We hope you can come and visit and see what’s going on.
