Dark North Craft & Curio is a magickal vintage shop curated by Kate Liset (she/her).
Founded in 2018, Dark North combines Kate’s love of antiques, witchcraft, Gothic aesthetic, handmade goods and romance. An artist, jewelry maker, and collector, Kate travels to dusty corners of New England to dig for hidden and forgotten treasures for her shop. Finding beautiful pieces that can be repurposed into altar tools, often that are very old, or charmingly worn, ensures each piece is special and has a unique energy.
In a world where everything is fast, shiny and disposable, Dark North’s mission is to bring new life to the old, and get her pieces in the hands of people who appreciate the beauty of something from another time.
Ornate decor, delicate handmade trinkets, crystal balls, candelabras, cauldrons, artwork and so much more are what you can expect to see on Dark North’s website.
Operating out of an old sewing factory studio in Lawerence, MA Kate creates handmade sterling silver jewelry for magickal people. Her work focuses on celebrating the healing energy of stones, often inspired by deities, movies, Gothic fashion and fairy tales. Kate also creates drawings, and one of a kind art pieces using found objects and natural materials.
Visit her instagram page (@darknorthcraftandcurio) to see the atmospheric photos Kate creates with her collections. One of her many creative endeavors, Kate takes great joy in staging scenes with her treasures to make the viewer feel like they are in a magickal other world, or straight from the pages of a fairy tale. Dark North hopes to inspire, delight, and maybe even find you something you didn’t know you needed!
