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 GREAT day to celebrate 30 years of The Mercantile here on the sunny side of the square in beautiful downtown Pendleton, SC!
Who would have thought that the dream Mom (Connie) had all those years ago would be here today! We all hoped it would be a lasting venture, and are proud to celebrate with you!
Our long-time customer/friend Jean Jones will be bringing her selection of LuLaRoe clothing for you to shop right here at The Mercantile.
LuLaRoe is a line of easy-care, comfortable clothing for women, men and children. They are best known for their “buttery soft” leggings, but they offer a wide array of skirts, dresses, tops, cardigans and more! The fabrics are always so soft and comfy. But if you see a color or print in a style you want, you had better snag it while you can! They make a limited number of items in each fabric. You may never see it again… The selection is ever-changing.
We hope to see you here!
Jenny Bradford, an independent distributor for Young Living Essential Oils will join us for a demo and question and answer period.
If you have any interest in what Essential Oils can do for you and your family, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn more without any obligations.
After Jenny is finished, we will have a Make & Take creating Essential Oil jewelry. Please see that listing for more information.
