Adult Classes

Curious about American Mahjong but not sure where to start? This two-day introductory class is designed to guide you through the fundamentals of the game in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Participants will learn the basics of American Mahjong, including tile recognition, game setup, turn order, and how to read and play using The Big Card by The Mahjong Line. Instruction will focus on understanding the card, building hands, and developing confidence in gameplay.

This class uses an embroidery hoop as both loom and frame to create an original weaving to be hung on a wall.  Students will learn to warp the loom, select appropriate yarns and other materials, design a weaving and then begin to create.  The instructor will demonstrate several weaving stitches and some pile weaves that can be used to add texture to the weaving.  If the weaving is not finished in class, students can take home enough materials to finish the project.

This class is suitable for both experienced weavers and beginners.  

This beginner-friendly junk journal class introduces participants to journaling as a creative, flexible practice using found materials, paper scraps, and ephemera. We’ll explore how a junk journal can be anything you want it to be—messy, meaningful, playful, or reflective. Through guided prompts and hands-on making, participants will work on unleashing their inner voice while creating pages together. The class emphasizes process over perfection and invites shared creativity, conversation, and learning from one another in a supportive environment.

 

Every Wednesday, gather your Mahjong crew and come play at your own pace at the Prairie Arts Center! From 12:30pm to 7:30pm, drop in and enjoy a relaxed afternoon of tiles on your schedule.
