Local artist and woodcarver Steve Arment hosted a wood carving class at the historic Churchill School in Baker City, Oregon. The school building, once an elementary school, was purchased by local artists and preservationists Brian and Corrine Vegter and has been repurposed into an arts incubator, community event center, and concert venue. The school houses a sound studio, a working woodshop, metal fabrication studio, gallery space, and artist studios.
The wood carving class, held in the working woodshop, was open to students of all levels and provided an opportunity for participants to learn from a master woodcarver. Steve Arment shared his techniques and insights with the students, guiding them through the process of carving a wooden bird from a block of basswood.
The class was one of many events and classes hosted at Churchill School. The school is also home to exhibits and festivals, and visitors can learn more about these events by visiting their website. Information about other art classes and events in Baker County can be found on the Baker County Tourism website.
