Have you ever wondered how the
iconic Miss Piggy came to be or what
it was like to work with Jim Henson?
We invite you to join The Strong's Vice President for Collections and Chief Curator Chris Bensch for an evening with Bonnie Erickson and Wayde Harrison of Harrison/Erickson, Inc.
During this interactive, virtual cocktail hour, you’ll meet Bonnie, best known for her work with Jim Henson and The Muppets, and Wayde who, together with Bonnie, runs Harrison/Erickson, Inc., a toy design and marketing company. Wayde and Bonnie, who also serve on The Strong's Board of Trustees, will share what inspired them, details of their creative partnership, and stories behind some classic characters.
