I'm Laura, and I'm the owner of Ms. Kitschy Witch. What started as my own studio and shop here on Pittsburgh's Southside at 1111 E. Carson St. has grown into something so much bigger than I ever imagined.

​

I opened the doors in May of 2026 as a place to create and sell my own handmade work — textile designs, upcycled fashion, jewelry, and home goods, all with a kitschy, witchy, folky, mid-century vibe. But it didn't stay just mine for long. What began with two artists has grown to fifteen and counting, and we're still growing every day. That's why we're now Ms. Kitschy Witch & Friends.

Every artist who joins the shop is someone I hand-pick myself, because I want each piece to fit the unique vibe we've built here. And every single item in this shop is handmade — no AI, just real work from real, local hands.

 

I'm still very much woven into everything here — as the owner, as a working artist and sewist with my own pieces throughout the shop, and as the person who gets to curate this incredible group of makers. This is my studio, my shop, and now, a shared home for a whole community of artists who believe in making things the real way.
