(May 11, 2017) Berlin Main Street and the Berlin Chamber of Commerce announced this week the grand opening and ribbon cutting for Wooden Octopus, on 8 Jefferson Street, this Friday, May 12 at 4 p.m.
Wooden Octopus is a working art studio owned by sisters Karen Ardis and Lisa Tossey, nestled behind the Atlantic Hotel in the heart of Berlin’s historic commercial district. They are running it as a family cooperative with their mother, Margaret Tossey, and Tossey’s husband, Matthew Amey, also working in the studio.
All four work in different mediums and create everything onsite, so all pieces in the gallery are made right in Berlin. Visitors to the studio, which is housed in newly renovated house that was once a private residence, can often catch one of them creating something new during gallery hours, currently Friday through Monday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and by appointment.
Custom work is available by commission and they hope to offer unique workshops soon as well.
Wine and charcuterie and cheeses will be provided from Gilberts Provisions. All are invited to attend.
