Tear Cap Workshops

About the Artist

Located in Hiram, Maine at the site of a former sawmill, Tear Cap Workshops is committed to promoting and enriching hands-on learning opportunities. We have an emerging hands-on workshop schedule: woodworking opportunities and stonewall building classes are scheduled for the upcoming 2019 season! Also on campus — two master craftsmen tenants – a timberframer and a cabinetmaker – currently rent workshop space on a full-time basis.

The former sawmill facility consists of 19 acres and 11 buildings. We lease aesthetic and affordable workshop space, and we’re just beginning to offer hands-on educational classes in traditional skills. Stonewall building is slated for this summer, and a variety of woodworking classes, short-term bench rentals, and other opportunities are along for 2019. We also plan to offer classes in blacksmithing, pottery, gardening, and other hands-on craft based on local, natural materials in the near future.

Our goal is to make good use of a former sawmill campus with craft, industry, and education. We hope to offer a wealth of opportunities for anyone who wants to learn a new skill, or needs the space to work on a creative project or business.
