Belated Halloween, dearies. 🎃 The witches were busy at the cauldron.
Deep in the Harz mountains, in the town of Derenburg, there lives a witch. Her face is the emblem of the whole district, and she watches over the glassworks of @glasmanufaktur_harzkristall. So when two glass witches came to visit during our residency with @kulturkollektiv.goetheschule, we knew we had to make her something fine.
We blew the hat in the hot shop, dressed up with freeze cast charms, brewed with Reichenbach glass colors and inspired by the forest witch herself. She approved. Our Hexenhut now rests where it belongs, at Harzkristall. 🧙‍♀️
The Black Magic of Casting is coming to a hearth near you this new year. If your studio would like to host our spells, send us a raven (or a DM) and we’ll conjure a class together.
And tell us, wanderer: what would you cast onto your own witch’s hat?
Our thanks to @kulturkollektiv.goetheschule for opening the door to the mountain, and to @glasma_sweden, @reichenbachcolors and @olympiccolors for the glass that is part of this tale.
