Tear Cap Workshops seeks to unleash creative pursuits in all people through hands-on workshops, classes, educational events, internship and volunteer opportunities. We hope to nurture the development and success of artists, craftspeople, and small creative businesses by offering affordable, aesthetic and inspiring rental spaces within our campus, a former sawmill in Western Maine. We aim to build community between varied creative disciplines —wood, metal, stone, food — connected by their importance to rural life in Maine. We will help people to connect and learn together to enhance the creative experience, fostering inspiration and creative advancement for people with skill levels from beginner to expert.
