What it is

Mahjong Studio 1 is a dedicated mahjong studio in Louisville, Kentucky. You can book a seat or a full table for open play, take classes, or hold private events. Its About page says it is owned by Anna Bunting, who also owns the shop Anna’s Additions. Hosting classes and game nights at Anna’s Additions led her to open the studio as “an even bigger space dedicated to learning, playing, and building community.” It is a private studio, not a library or a shop.
