{"product_id":"the-witch-s-apprentice","title":"THE WITCH’S APPRENTICE","description":"\u003cp\u003eHalloween is, without a doubt, the absolute best season of the year. There is a cozy, enchanting magic in the autumn air that I look forward to all year long: the rustle of fallen leaves, the glow of candlelight, and all the whimsical, friendly spirits that come out to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I was making \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Witch’s Apprentice\"\u003c\/strong\u003e in my studio, I was thinking about the sweetest little Halloween ritual imaginable: brewing potions in the dead of night with your best friend by your side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery great witch needs a familiar, and this mischievous little black cat is always right where the action is. Instead of letting her brew in peace, the cat hops right into the cauldron, pops out to peek over the rim, and purrs softly against her cheek to share in the magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is 100% handmade and hand-sculpted by me, Idania Salcido, the artist behind Danita Art. I built every element from raw, rich clay in my studio and fired the entire set in my old-school electric kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture rests on an earthen ceramic hearth base featuring two main hand-built forms: a sweet witch bust wearing her tall pointed hat, painted with rosy cheeks and a polka-dotted dress, and a rustic handled cauldron glazed in deep, glossy midnight black. Best of all, the little black cat familiar is an independent, sculpted miniature figure. You can place the cat peeking out from inside the cauldron, set him on his paws beside the brew, or tuck him close against the witch's shoulder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this piece is made to bring pure joy to your Halloween decorations and altar displays, it is designed to stay out in your home all year long. Set it on your bookshelf, mantle, or creative work desk to bring a smile to your face and keep a warm spark of gentle magic alive every single day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDANIA SALCIDO - DANITA ART","offers":[{"title":"5 x 4 x 1 INCHES","offer_id":67904879132826,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/8505\/files\/PA187348.jpg?v=1792395305","url":"https:\/\/danitaart.com\/products\/the-witch-s-apprentice","provider":"IDANIA SALCIDO - DANITA ART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
