Hands-on Classes
We have an emerging hands-on workshop program at Tear Cap Workshops. So far, we’ve offered courses in woodworking and stonewall building, as well as educational forestry walks and the Wood Innovators Conference. We have so much more planned for the future ~ please reach out and let us know if you have a request, suggestion, or an idea for a hands-on workshop.

Bookmaking and Basketmaking
We’re offering Bookmaking and Basketmaking classes this spring (for the first time!) with fabulous guest instructors! Please see the class descriptions for more information.
Stone Wall Building
We offered our first stonewall building class in 2018 in partnership with the Stone Trust. What a blast! We’re offering more options in 2020… stay tuned.
Woodworking
The Community Woodworking Shop
The Community Woodworking Shop is in the former planer building. This 80 by 40 foot space will be the home for all future woodworking classes, short-term bench rentals and community events. Our vision for this space is a four-season hub for creative exploration and hands-on skill building in wood.
We received grant funding from The Maine Community Foundation and the Virginia Hodgkins Somers Foundation to support a Rent-a-Bench Program that will increase community access to woodworking. The concept of the program is to offer a bench, tools, and and maybe a little extra help, to anyone who would like to complete their woodworking project in a community atmosphere.
