Have you always been curious about Mahjong but never quite known where to start? Pull up a chair — we’re excited to host our very first class in the shop!

Our first class was a hit, and we’re excited to offer another Mahjong 101 session on Tuesday, July 21 at 5:30pm, led by Mahjong enthusiast and instructor Tish Spearman, who teaches regularly at the Common House. Whether you’ve never touched a tile or want to brush up on the fundamentals, this class is a great fit, taught with warmth, patience, and plenty of good humor.

All materials and tile setups will be provided — just bring yourself and a little curiosity!

Your ticket includes:

• Two hours of instruction
• One free drink (anything from our regular menu)
• 15% off Play Mahjong by Alyssa Gross (Tish’s recommendation)
• 10% off all books in the shop

Space is limited to 16 students, so spots will go quickly. Register below to secure your seat at the table!

Please note: Tickets are non-refundable. Every spot helps us keep the class running smoothly — thank you for understanding. If you must cancel, please reach out to hello@penningtonsbooks.com promptly so we can invite a player from the waitlist and arrange for you to attend a future class.

If tickets are sold out: Please join the waitlist! If there are cancellations, we’ll invite players from the waitlist first. You’ll also be first to know about future classes.
