This is the company that produces Dianna Effner's doll molds for purchase as well as provide many doll making supplies.
Expressions was closed on the day that I took a self-guided tour so other than the little bit of information that I understand about mold processing from the questions that I asked Dianna Effner, I really cannot tell you too much about this process.

I never did ask what the big troughs of water are for but I assume they are for washing/cooling the molds during part of the process.
Back in the storage area of the warehouse are shelves and shelves of molds waiting to be purchased and shipped. I saw many sheets of instructions that go along with the molds.
All parts are labeled:

This was the first time I've ever seen doll molds up close. It was really exciting for me to see! This is where beautiful dolls begin :)
