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.
This groups meets once a month, with a variety of topics on the agenda. It is a non formal gathering, with a lot of discussion and show and tell.

It is the 40th anniversary of the Historic Pendleton Spring Jubilee. One of the things they are planning is a welcome party on the green for all of the artists attending. This will include live music. (They are not going to have their booths open for sales until Saturday morning.)
The Mercantile will be OPEN until 8 PM that evening.
Our friend Katie Dante will be bringing her selection of LuLaRoe clothing for you to shop right here at The Mercantile. This is a great time to pick out some fresh fashions for Spring!
LuLaRoe is a line of easy-care, comfortable clothing for women, men and children. They are well known for their buttery soft leggings, but their collection spans tops, skirts, dresses, and “sweaters” in a variety of styles. The sizing ranges from XXS to 3XL for women and the children’s sizes cover from toddlers to teenagers. Men’s sizes I have not looked at yet, so I cannot say how they range.
LuLaRoe only makes a limited number of items in a variety of sizes from each fabric, if you see a print you like in a size that fits, you need to get it because it may not show up again. The consultants/stylists can only order by size & style, the rest is a mystery to them until they open the boxes.
2017 marks the 40th Annual Spring Jubilee – Saturday 10 AM – 6 PM & Sunday 12 – 5 PM. They are planning an extra special celebration to mark this milestone for the festival.
About 100 artists showing & selling their creations on and around the village green. Food and entertainment.
Rain or shine event – free admission for shoppers.
No dogs allowed except for certified Service Dogs.
The Mercantile is pleased to be hosting Rob Seel during Spring Jubilee.
Rob is releasing a new monograph, “Pendleton Winter!” The 12″ x 12″ x 68 page book features beautiful photographs of historic Pendleton, SC, inspired by the snowfall of January 7, 2017. A limited printing is in progress now, and will be available at Spring Jubilee on April 1.
Also, Rob will have limited copies available of two other books, “Core Construction” and “Central Focus”, and a special assortment of matted and framed photographs for sale.
