Welcome to the Danish Art Workshops
The Danish Art Workshops (SVFK) is an institution under the Danish Ministry of Culture, whose purpose it is to provide working facilities for particularly demanding art works.
At the SVFK it is possible for artists to do work in large formats, which their own studios or equipment cannot facilitate. Artists, designers, craftspeople, and restorers can work here on projects in art and design at the highest level.

Corrosion of Matter
8 May – 7 June 2026
With Corrosion of Matter, Therese Hald Boesen explores the visual and material potential of patination and natural weathering. Through direct printing of patinated zinc plates, she highlights the textures and transformations shaped by time and oxidation, giving aesthetic and conceptual value to what is usually considered decay.
