An Interview with Tom Mather What does your business do and for how long? Tornado Tavern Gallery has been open for about 18 months. We offer work of a number of artists, including Mary and I, but we also offer "gift items" purchased from quality suppliers. Visit our blog and our FaceBook page for recent additions & hours of operation. How many people do you employ? Tornado Tavern Gallery doesn't have a staff, Mary and I work in the gallery. What makes your business special in Southern Door? Tornado Tavern Gallery offers unique items at reasonable prices. You will find knitted and woven items, minerals and stone in many forms prints from original art, original art, jewelry, metaphysical and vintage items. We offer large and small pieces of chunk glass of many color finished in a number of ways, garden ornaments, wire wrapped sun catchers, smaller pendants and larger pieces on interesting stands. Tornado Tavern Gallery tries to be a fun place to visit. We have two stations where a person can make their own necklace. We also have holiday decorations from Wisconsin artists. What one place in Southern Door do you love or that stands out for you? There are so many great fishing events in Southern Door. I think the best event in Southern Door for me is the annual Belgian Days festival in Brussels. What's a famous quote or piece of advice you would like to share with others? We reap what we sow, and the more things change the more they stay the same (in a new way).
