What I didn’t know before this interview is how much Hine’s current work came about through experimentation and chance-to me, her story is an inspiring reminder to be open to new materials and techniques (and technology) and also to be bold in sharing your work with the world! Hine’s work has even starred in music videos for They Might Be Giants-videos that Hine herself also directed and animated! So you can see why I am eager to pick the brain of this superstar in the craft art world. You may have seen her beautiful needle-felted pieces all over craft blogs and Etsy, and her work also appears in many gallery shows, including the upcoming Supahcute Dream Team Show “Art Too Cute For Words,” opening May 12 at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland in LA.ĭetail from one of Hine’s pieces in “Art Too Cute For Words” Hine is a Vancouver-based artist and animator with a background in fine arts, which she studied in her home country of Japan. Since then I’ve wanted to get a more in-depth interview with her that didn’t involve me interrupting her work at the same time. I had the pleasure of meeting her last year when she was in NYC for a needle-felting art show-she was super sweet and answered all of my eager questions as she was installing her pieces. I am so pleased to share an interview today with Hine Mizushima, one of my all-time favorite craft artists!
