Witchy Poppets
Witchy Poppets are not all witches! They are smaller dolls with a simpler shape but don't worry they're not too cute.
​
In the play The Crucible a simple child's poppet becomes a powerful tool in witchcraft ... well it doesn't, but the folk of the town believe it does. It always interested me that a tiny, innocent rag doll could hold so much power.
​
These poppets are made from remnants of cloth, eliminating the environmental impact of producing new fabrics ... and who knows, maybe they are all powerful witches after all...
'Witch'
'The term Witch comes from the Middle English 'Wicche' which is neither masculine nor feminine.
The modern word 'Witch' generally refers to a woman but luckily all of our Witchy Poppets were originally born in 1692.
