Derby Dolls' Doll Factory at 1910 W Temple Street, Los Angeles. Parking is available in the lot with an entrance off Westlake Avenue.

Please RSVP 24 hours in advance if you plan to attend class, and bring a photocopy of your picture ID (such as a Driver's License or Passport) to your first session.  Payments may only be accepted via cash and check.
