Solo Sessions
WHAT: This is a 1:1 session for newbies that is perfect for people who get confused in a larger group, want to join a group that is further along, or simply need more repetition to feel comfortable. We follow the 101 basics but tailor it to your pace.

HOW: 100$ for a 1 hour 1:1 session. 75$ if you come to me. I will bring/have all Mahjong related materials and you will need to provide the table if at your home.
WHERE: Your home (within a 25 mile radius) or maybe mine (over a cup of joe on the weekend).
WHY: To learn the game without distractions and at your own pace. To gain confidence for that next Girls Night or open play.

Have you been looking for a truly beautiful rack to elevate your tablescape?

Custom Walnut butcher block racks
$250.00
I searched all over to find a substantial, rich, real walnut rack that would accommodate a host of my tiles (not to mention pushers that did more than tag along). Turns out the answer was in my garage. These are show stoppers, and I am here for it! Their heft and silhouette don't just show off your tiles, they SHOW UP. Their pushers stand alone- requiring no hinging or magnets, and the view from the ends shows how their finishing details complete the entire profile of symmetry. These are unique and high quality- they do not look like anything else out there. They are not a cheaper wood stained "walnut".

These racks are custom made to fit most tile sizes (price shown is for standard reveal and 20" length and does NOT include shipping). They are crafted from walnut butcher block and each piece shows the transitions, marks, and mini-imperfections that complete the REAL wood look. All will match as a set, but no two are the same. The complimenting stain is used only to enhance the beauty of the natural walnut. They are triple sealed for protection, but should be handled with care.

First batch sold out. Next likely ship is June/July, pre-order to save yours! No rack bags yet!

Walnut butcher block quick-connect travel racks
$60.00
Travel times and tiny tiles still deserve big style! These pack-flat racks slide together to hold your tiles at an angle (like my old tilted record rack:). They do not have a dedicated reveal area (just plop those hard earned pungs down right in front), but they will be the handsomest helpers around.

Given that these are hand-made from real walnut butcher block your set will "match", but each rack is unique. They are hand finished with stain used to bring out the beauty of the wood and triple sealed to protect (but handle with care).

Price is for a set of 4 travel racks that are 12" long (can customize this with discussion). Shipping is separate. No rack bags at this time.

Custom Decoupage Mahjong Racks
$250.00
Don't let the tiles and mats have all the fun! These well- built, unique racks will be the talk of the town. Let's face it, American Mahjong is for the love of the game AND the love of the fashion:)

Some sets, such as the example shown, are made using vintage napkin sets found at craft fairs etc. and could be sold as is. I would never want to infringe on anyone's IP rights and therefore any more UTD projects with current identifiable designer napkins or papers would need to be already owned by the purchaser and sent here for application onto your new racks- i.e not for bulk sale!

Price shown is for standard reveal 20" rack (shipping not included). Pushers will be flat, lightly magnetized (I am annoyed by overly tight pushers), and decoupaged to match unless otherwise discussed- other options available. Please note that as with any items done in this fashion, the surface is not entirely smooth/flat and the ends will show a folding of the applique. Sealed in a thick varnish that protects the racks (but, of course, still handle with care).

If available, it can be ordered with the knowledge that we will need to discuss materials, rack options, and actual ship date! No rack bags yet

About Me
I wanted to play Mahj.... but I am a full time working doctor mom.
While my schedule is not nearly as bad as many MDs, I could not make it to the daytime lessons and open plays (not to mention they were intimidating). So, naturally, I made my sister teach me!
Fast forward through the obsessions with the gorgeous aesthetics (the tiles, the mats, the racks... you'll see what I mean), and reading every rule book I could get my hands on, and I was forcing my friends to learn so that we could all play together.
I teach a lot during my day job (to learners of all levels) and I realized while showing my girlfriends that I really enjoyed this new teaching avenue! Hence, @MAHJMAMAMD was born to spread the Mahj love and knowledge.
