The Herbal Hearth is a warm colonial keeping room filled with candlelight, apothecary details, dried herbs, and old-world New England charm.
The Crystal Vanity is a whimsical witch’s attic featuring crystal light, vintage treasures, feminine florals, and dreamy storybook magic.
The Velvet Parlor surrounds guests with rich velvet, candlelight, Victorian elegance, and mysterious dark glamour for dramatic witch portraits.
Guests may also choose our signature Magick Broom flying portrait, where green-screen technology creates magical moonlit images that have become a Witch Pix favorite.

Hat-Making Workshop $130 per person. Learn the craft in good company and leave Salem with a hat made by your own hands.
Small-group workshop · up to 10 seats
Ten humans enter. Ten witches leave. Give or take a little glue.
Gather around one worktable for a small-group Salem workshop where up to ten people learn, make, compare choices, laugh at the awkward middle, and leave with a witch hat shaped by their own hands.
The hat-making workshop is a small-group Salem experience at $130 per seat, with up to 10 seats and a choice of set designs. Attendees must be 15 or older because the work uses hot glue and sharp tools. You leave with a witch hat made by your own hands.
The table is part of the magic.
This is not ten private appointments happening near one another. It is one shared workshop. Everyone starts together, learns together, navigates the slightly chaotic middle together, and watches ten different hats emerge from the same room.
The craft gives everybody something to do while conversation takes care of itself. Friends can make Salem memories together. Families can compare creative decisions. Solo visitors can simply pull up a chair and discover that strangers become much easier to talk to when everyone is trying to persuade a piece of hat material to behave.
Each scheduled workshop is intentionally small, with no more than ten seats. The limit gives the maker enough room to help, gives everyone enough space to work, and keeps the gathering feeling like a workshop rather than a minor textile emergency.

90 Minute Witch Hat Design Session
Pequot House & Pavilion Experience with Designer
Offered In October….daily by appointment
https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/witchpix/items/758402/?full-items=yes&flow=1702500
Ninety minutes to move from instinct to intention with the maker beside you, with unlimited choices of high-end trims, floral, and brooches included. A vague idea becomes a coherent piece of personal mythology. You and the maker develop a complete witch hat that is distinctly yours.
• 90-minute private design session for $300, Design Your Own = Shape a witch hat alongside the maker, from the first idea through the final flourish. A hat can finish an outfit. This experience builds a character.
• Some people arrive with a sketch, a wedding palette, a favorite villain, a photograph saved for three years. Some arrive with nothing more specific than “dark, but not gloomy.” That is enough.
• Over ninety minutes the idea gets tested against form, crown to brim to palette to trim, until the result feels less like options you selected and more like one idea that could not have arrived any other way.
• Do I leave with the hat that day? This is the design session. Production timing is confirmed with the maker when you book.
• How is this different from the consultation? The 20-minute consultation points you to the right hat. This develops a complete concept with materials in hand.
20-minute Private Hat consultation with hats from $125 to $175
Your hat is out there being dramatic without you.
Offered In October….daily by appointment
https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/witchpix/items/756346/?full-items=yes&flow=1702500
Start with twenty minutes, a maker, and a mirror. We will help narrow the possibilities until your particular kind of witch has a much clearer silhouette. Witch hats are wonderfully dramatic objects, which is exactly why choosing one can get complicated fast. Brim width, crown height, color, tilt, trim, texture: suddenly a fun decision has developed several opinions of its own.
The consultation keeps the fun and removes the guesswork. You and the maker try directions together, paying attention to the shapes that frame your face, the proportions that feel natural, and the details that make you grin at the mirror instead of politely evaluating it.
You might confirm the look you already had in mind. You might discover that the hat you were absolutely certain was not your style is, annoyingly, perfect. Both outcomes count as successful magic.
• Find the silhouette, fit, color, and finish details that feel unmistakably yours. Every witch has a hat. Yours may simply not have introduced itself yet.
• A soft woven, beautifully decorated hat with the colors of your choosing, with options to upgrade your base hat, trims, and specialty brooches, creating a lifetime memory of your visit.
• Twenty focused minutes with the maker; your finished hat is ready the next day.
• Hats start at $125 and the prices increase based on the extra upgrades chosen at the design session.
• Book your time with the designer and choose to pay for a complete hat in advance or simply make a deposit to see where it goes in person.
• Is the 20-minute consultation the same as the 90-minute Design Your Own session? No. The consultation is a focused fitting and direction-setting experience. Design Your Own gives you substantially more time to develop a complete hat concept with the maker.
