Meet the Owners!

Bug Richardson Seling (she/her)

After spending ten years working in manufacturing as an Indie yarn dyer, Bug was longing for more artistic endeavors. Bug's background of seven years of business ownership and her BA in Studio Art became the impetus for founding a creative space on the West side of Madison. After two years of renovation and prep, her old yarn dyeing studio has now become Ugly Dumpling Studio!

In her personal life, Bug spends a lot of time figure skating, weightlifting, and watching anime with her partner, Alex, and two special needs cats, Louise and Bradley. Bug is pictured above with a truck full of screens and the studio's giant exposure unit on moving day.
