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.
Clay Boxes – 3 hours – Cindy Earl Higgins – $30.00
Join Cindy and prepare to get a little dirty as she walks you through the construction of clay boxes, using slab-building and surface texturing. You will need to leave your boxes so they can dry and then be fired. Cindy will let you know when they are ready for pick up. Let her know if you would like to glaze your finished piece, and she will be happy to schedule a glazing session with you at no additional cost.
We will be closed for our Summer Vacation – A 5 – day weekend ending with Independence Day. We resume our regular hours on Friday, July 5, 2019.
We will be closed to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family.
Wishing you & yours a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Please join us in celebrating the Christmas season during our Christmas Open House.
We will have samplings of some of our favorite yummy things all day long as well as our Mystery Discount. Come taste the samples and do some local shopping for your loved ones this Christmas.
The Open House coincides with Pendleton’s Tree Lighting Ceremony so we will be open until 8 PM.
Each year the Town of Pendleton waits until just after Thanksgiving to light the beautiful tree that stands on the Village Green. Most of the businesses in town light their windows with white lights to add to the ambiance.
There will be Hot Mulled Cider & Cookies as well as Mr. & Mrs. Claus!
The Mercantile will remain open until 8:00 that evening in case you want to do a little shopping while you are here for the festivities.
The Mercantile will be OPEN Christmas Eve for limited hours.
Wishing all a Merry Christmas!
As always, we will be closed both Christmas as well as the day after and will re-open on Friday, December 27, 2019 for our regular hours.
We will be closing at about 3:00 PM on New Years Eve.
We enjoyed making wonderful memories with all of you during 2019.
We thank you all for your patronage and friendships during 2019 and look forward to the wonderful possibilities 2020 may bring.
We are here from 11:00 – 4:00 for call in orders with curbside pick-up or shipping.
With the Stay Home order from the Governor, we will be monitoring our social media and email from home during our abbreviated hours of 11:00 – 4:00.
Both of us live close to the store. If you need us to check on anything there, we will be able to fit that into our schedules. The Boredom Buster card kits will be at home with us, as well as materials for packing and shipping. (We can also meet locally for a personal delivery)
