According to folklore, a kitchen witch is a handmade charm believed to bring practical magical protection and good fortune to the heart of the home. Traditionally hung in the kitchen, these charming figures are said to help prevent cooking mishaps, encourage successful meals, and foster a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
In this class, you'll explore the fascinating history and folklore behind the kitchen witch, from its European origins to its modern-day role as a symbol of hospitality, protection, and intention. You'll also discover how the traditional kitchen witch blends beautifully with the North American craft of corn husk doll making.
Using dried corn husks (also known as shucks), you'll create your own unique corn husk kitchen witch while learning the techniques of this timeless folk craft. As you assemble your witch, you'll have the opportunity to infuse it with your own personal intention—whether for protection, abundance, creativity, or joy—creating a meaningful keepsake to hang in your own kitchen or give as a thoughtful handmade gift.
No prior crafting experience is necessary. All skill levels are welcome. All supplies included.
