by Toby

If you are a witch, wizard, or descendant of either one, you will be delighted at these wonderful Witches' Kitchen items, guaranteed to entice your ancestors right into your home for a cooked toad or two. So...

Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
(Act 4, Scene 1, Macbeth, William Shakespeare)

True to Artecnica's design MO, the Witches' Kitchen project is creating sustainable products made by indigenous artisans. Though the Witches' Kitchen designs were inspired by witch folklore, they were created by London designer, Tord Boontje, and handcrafted by artisans in Columbia, Guatemala, and Brazil.

Witches

At $330. for the hands and $1200. for the double pot, the 6 piece serving?
set is $770. I wonder how much they are paying the workers?

Instruments

It would be interesting to know exactly what all those Instruments are used for. Are these actually what a witch would use? Guess you have to know about witches and stuff to understand it. I just read some articles about the spells put on stuff at http://hauntedpossessions.com and must say it kind of creeps you out. The folklore of it is interesting, but from what I understand, it is nothing to fool with if you don't know what you are doing. Anyway, the Instruments do make you wonder what the heck they are used for.
