HOTCHI-WITCHI

​

Hotchi Witchi is a Welsh-based design studio founded by artist Debbie Lear, known for its enchanting, nature-inspired creations that draw deeply from folklore, seasonal cycles, and mythological symbolism. The name “Hotchi Witchi” is a Romani word for hedgehog, reflecting the artist's affinity for woodland creatures and folk traditions. 

 

Design Philosophy: The Wheel of the Year

Hotchi Witchi’s work is rooted in the Celtic “Wheel of the Year,” a calendar of seasonal festivals that mark the turning points of nature’s cycle. Each design celebrates a specific moment in this cycle, blending botanical motifs, spiritual symbolism, and storytelling.
