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 thought it was about time we had our friend Katie Dante bring her selection of LuLaRoe clothing for you to shop right here at The Mercantile again. This is a great time to pick out some fresh fashions for Summer!
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.

We will be open our regular hours on the day of the Total Eclipse.
Join us for some fun & games as well as an Eclipse Card Make ‘n Take.
As part of our 29th Anniversary celebration week, we are offering a Make & Take for a Farmer’s Hall ornament or card.
As we get to day 3 of our celebration we will be painting rocks for #PendletonSCRocks. This is part of the current movement of painting rocks with positive images or sayings and leaving them in public places to be discovered by other painted rock enthusiasts. Those rocks can then be kept as a treasure or re-hidden for another to find. Some #PendletonSCRocks have even traveled to Scotland! All of the rocks painted here on Wednesday will be labeled with the facebook page #PendletonSCRocks. The creators can then take them and leave them where they wish.
On day 4 of our celebration people can create a beaded mirror pendant/ornament.
On the last day of our Make & Takes this week, create a “Bling Ring” or a simple leather bracelet with a charm. We will have a variety of “bling” for the ring, as well as different charms and colors of leather for the bracelet.
A fun array of things are in store to celebrate 29 years of The Mercantile here on the sunny side of the square in beautiful downtown Pendleton, SC!
The Mercantile has been reserved for a private Birthday Celebration that includes a beading class for 8 young ladies.
If you are interested in booking a private party in the evening, please give us a call and we will do our best to work with your schedule.
