The Evergreen State College campus accommodates academic instruction and tribally focused residences, especially on the Indigenous Arts Campus. The wood carving studio is designed in alignment with Indigenous architecture and cultural concepts and features wood framing, exposed timber posts, and cedar lap siding. Inside, the studio boasts a variety of woodworking tools and equipment to teach students a range of wood carving skills and techniques that have been passed down for generations by Indigenous tribes of the region, specifically emphasizing the Salish peoples of the Pacific Northwest. The Wood Carving Studio is a meaningful addition to the campus and fosters vibrant artmaking.
