Location

Ugly Baby Workshop - 115 Prefontaine Place South, Seattle, WA 98104

This class will take place in the Tashiro Kaplan building in Pioneer Square. Please make sure you're not heading to our retail shop. This is a different location. If you google Ugly Baby Workshop Space, it will give you the address of our studio - which is in the same building - but is not the most convenient door for you to enter from. Please go to 115 Prefontaine Place S.

Your teacher can also travel within 60 miles of Pioneer Square, to a venue of your choice for a private class.
