Ben works as cabinetmaker, carpenter, concrete worker, logger, and woodworker and is has a large workspace in the same building as Andy Buck. He is a talented and skilled woodworker who also is an excellent teacher.

Beth Richey, Painter

We welcome fine artist Beth to our community of makers! Beth does landscape, still life, and abstract oil painting, recently exhibited in Portland and at Artemis Gallery in Northeast Harbor.

Beth says: “Working with the ebb and flow of a painting reveals what is ‘known’, ‘observed’, ‘sensed’ and what is slightly out of reach altogether.”
