Tear Cap Workshops

Tear Cap Workshops is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community benefit organization. Our mission is to unleash creativity through hands-on learning. We have workshop space for established artisans, and hands-on learning opportunities in craft education. Our facility is a former sawmill, and we are striving to re-purpose this site in a meaningful way.
