Love Mah Jongg but not the cut-throat competition? We’ve got a seat for you! At Creative 360, Open Play is all about good games, good company, and keeping your brain on its toes—without the pressure to play like a pro. We welcome those who have had at least a beginning level class and are ready to spread their wings, build confidence, and enjoy the game in a casual, relaxed atmosphere.

Bring your National Mah Jongg League card and, if you have one, your Mah Jongg set. Don’t have a set? No worries! Just bring yourself and a sense of fun. Brand new to the game? In January, we will also offer beginner and advanced-beginner Mah Jongg classes to help you get started or sharpen your skills.

Please preregister.

Join instructor Penny Leathley for an autumn-time exploration of fused glass. To commemorate the shifting season, students will select from iconic fall forms, colorful rods, and frits and utilize simple snipping tools on glass to create beautiful and functional miniature artworks. If you prefer to work with other seasonal shapes, no worries! An assortment will be offered. All supplies will be provided to create two small hanging suncatchers, and projects will be fired off-site to be picked up at a later date. All supplies and the firing fee are included in class tuition. Take this opportunity to explore a new medium and begin your journey in fused glass!
