About Us

Liz Shields, Owner

For 6 years I was an elementary and middle school art teacher. I enjoyed sharing my love of the creative arts with my students.

About 3 years ago, I began working part time at Hammer & Stain North Shore as an instructor. This experience helped guide me to a new dream.

I have since left teaching and I have become my own studio owner here in Maine. I continue to learn and grow as I make strides on this dream.

Your support is welcome and much appreciated in helping me on my journey in studio ownership!

Tango, Quality Control Manager

Tango came to work for Hammer & Stain when he was rescued by Liz. First, he was strictly quality control whenever Liz was making samples for another studio, but since Liz has started a studio of her own, he has been promoted to Quality Control Manager!
