November 20th, 2020

Chelsea Culpepper is an artist, fabricator and project manager at Workshop Art Fabrication foundry in Kingston, NY. Workshop was started by Andrew Pharmer and Vincent DiDonato in 2015 after they’d worked together for over 17 years at Polich Tallix foundry and provides an intimate and “boutique” experience; offering artists services including metal casting and fabrication, mold and pattern making, project development and management, patina and paint applications and conservation and restoration. Chelsea began working for Workshop shortly after they opened as a recent BFA graduate from University of Alabama, Birmingham and trained in the wax room - later becoming a trusted artist liaison for artist such as Frank Benson, Kiki Smith and Huma Bhabha. Her favorite tool is a broken chad.
