Kristen Anderson BIO
Kristen Anderson is a visual artist working in felt at her Bigfork, MN studio. With a background in biology and art, she approaches her work with an ecological lens and often creates felt to represent her studies. She partners with the scientific community to develop work, which has even included processing (rolling) large-scale felts together. She enjoys infusing her enthusiasm for the natural world and feltmaking through classes and individual or group shows, primarily in northern Minnesota.

Sue Eggert BIO
Sue Eggert has studied the hydrology and aquatic life of forested seasonal ponds and streams of the Great Lakes and southern Appalachian regions for over thirty years. Her passions include learning about the life histories of freshwater invertebrates, how they adapt to their environment and sharing that knowledge with others.
