Tear Cap Workshops

Tear Cap Workshops is 501(3)(c) non-profit organization with the mission to unleash creativity through hands-on learning. Our facility is a former sawmill in Hiram, Maine that we are re-purposing into an artisan collective and craft school. The name ?Tear Cap? comes from the mountain peak that rises to the north above our campus; ?Workshops? refers both to the workshop space available to rent and to hands-on workshops for educational skill building. Last fall, TCW purchased the 19-acre campus, and we?re slowing transforming the 11 buildings into usable workshop space. We have 4 creative tenants currently: a timberframer, a cabinetmaker, a mosaic glass artisan, and a builder of small homes and campers. We have an emerging hands-on workshop schedule: stonewall building this summer, woodworking classes coming this fall with the completion of the Community Woodworking Shop, and lots of Volunteer Work Days in the meantime.
