Welcome to Tear Cap Workshops! We are a non-profit organization dedicated to unleashing creativity through hands-on learning and crafts education.

Community at a Former Sawmill

Located in the beautiful hills of Oxford County, Tear Cap Workshops is committed to promoting and enriching hands-on learning and crafts education. Our campus, formerly the Thomas Hammond & Son Millyard, includes 19 acres and 11 buildings. We offer hands-on educational classes in woodworking and wood carving, stone wall building, bookbinding, basketry, hand-built pottery, encaustics, eco-printing, Ikebana, and natural dyeing. We host educational seminars about ecology and wildlife, and have free public events throughout the year. Our Tear Cap Workshops garden provides food for our community of artisans, and for events like our Open House. We currently have six artisans on-site who enjoy practicing their craft and sharing their expertise with participants in our classes, workshops and Rent-a-Bench program.

We invite you to visit us to learn more about programs at Tear Cap Workshops. Call 207-625-3396 to schedule a tour!
