Additional Information
Miffy’s wearing her distinctive orange dress and holding her paintbrushes, just like she does on the cover of Miffy the Artist, one of Tate Publishing’s most endearingly popular children’s books. Written by Dick Bruna to inspire parents to introduce art to their children as early as possible, the book follows Miffy on her first trip to an art gallery, which inspires her to create her own artworks. The author and illustrator explained that the book was inspired by his own experience of visiting Paris after WWII:
‘there I discovered the great works of Matisse, Picasso, Léger and Braque. This was the turning point in my life. I came back to the Netherlands, knowing that I wanted to be an artist, and full of inspiration based on the artistic styles I had seen. In a way, the simple story of Miffy the Artist encapsulates what happened to me.’
An excellent companion for trips to Tate galleries, the Miffy the Artist toy is handmade using traditional crochet techniques and soft cotton yarn, and is only available from Tate Shops.
Recommended for ages 3 and up, this Miffy crochet doll is made exclusively for Tate by Just Dutch, whose toys are produced in seven different locations across Vietnam, employing underprivileged people. Each toy, made by hand, takes a number of hours to create, from crochet and assembly through to embroidery and final touches. Crochet is a popular pastime in Vietnam, and the company employs many female and disabled workers who would otherwise not be able to work.
