Tenant Artisans

Custom Timberframer

We are so lucky to have Andy Buck, Custom Timberframer on site in the big shop space! See some of Andy’s work here on instagram or on his website.

Dietrich Woodworks

Ben Dietrich was the pioneer tenant at the old mill site: the first one to rent space at the empty sawmill. He can do anything in wood — from frame to finish to furniture. Ben works as cabinetmaker, carpenter, concrete worker, logger, and woodworker. His friendly personality and easy-going nature make his cabinet shop at Tear Cap Workshops a fun place to stop by and check out his creative projects. He is a natural teacher and gifted woodworker — we are so glad to have him on site!

Edney Guitars

We are so thrilled to have Alex Edney of Edney Guitars in the shop space known as the Baggins Building! Alex makes and repairs guitars of all kinds, but has a particular love for acoustic guitars. He also is developing a line of guitars made from local wood, including spruce, birch, cherry and black walnut. See more of Alex’s work on his website: https://www.edneyguitars.com/ or Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/edneyguitars/ View short video introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n8YQWTDEMY

Beth Richey, Painter

We are so thrilled to welcome 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.”

John Plowden has a rich and varied history as an artisan.
