Join Faina Lerman & Yuen Hom for a fun Mahjong lesson at Popps Packing in Hamtramck! Limited spots—reserve now!
Mahjong Lesson at Popps Packing: 10 AM - 12 PM
$50 for the lesson

Come learn the classic game of Mahjong (American Mahjong) at Popps Packing. Leading the lesson are Faina Lerman, artist and director of Popps Packing and Yuen Hom, artist and creative professional. Together they have 20+ years of Mahjong experience and expertise that they will share with you.

You’ll start with the basics setting up the game, drawing, discarding, and getting into the rhythm of the game—including the famous Charleston (the initial tile exchange). Learn how to build hands and discover strategies for organizing your tiles. Plus, get the hang of reading the (NMJL)Mahjong card to match tiles with hands. And of course, you’ll love the sound and beauty of the clinking tiles!

Light refreshements will be provided.

After the lesson, stick around for a friendly yet competitive game of Mahjong!

Open Mahjong: 1 PM - 3 PM

Already know the game? Just want to join for Open Mahjong? It’s only $25 for open play!

Limited spots available. Be sure to reserve your spot now! Link in bio

Does anyone need a baby grand piano?
