Witch Doctor Glass Shop Thriving in Downtown Salem

The Witch Dr. Blowing Studio and Artisan Gallery on Lafayette Street in Salem is a truly unique local business.

It is one of the few places in New England where customers looking for glass pipes, bubblers and smoking accessories can browse through the items the shop offers while watching new pieces being hand-crafted in the rear of the shop.

It's been almost a year since 'The Witch DR.' opened its doors in Salem and co-owner Derek Arnold said business has been brisk.

"We've experienced healthy growth," Arnold said Thursday. "It's been great."

All of the shop's glass products are crafted in the United States and in addition to glass items, the Witch Dr. also showcases a wide variety of locally-created artwork.

The shop is open every day from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and you must be 18 to enter.
