St. Clare Mahjong is built on reverence—for materials shaped by hand, for symbols shaped by time, and for the devotion both require.
Our designs are created at the intersection of needlework and mahjong—two traditions born in different cultures yet bound by the same values: patience, precision, and community.
Needlework traces back to Egypt in the 1500s, while mahjong emerged in China in the 1800s. Each has been carried forward through generations by the beauty of the practice itself.
Every St. Clare piece begins with study. We look closely at form, proportion, and symbolism—what has endured, and why. We honor these traditions not by copying them, but by interpreting them with intention and respect.
