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.

Projects
We encourage you to search information about specific artistic techniques and materials in current and former projects within the fields of visual arts and crafts, design, and preservation. In this database we feature the artistic working process rather than the outcome in order to focus on the services we provide.
I det lille lerværksted har Vibe Overgaard bygget skulpturer i keramik, der skal fungere som moduler i et værk til Kulturværftet i Helsingør.
In Loach Water, Zishi Han and Wei Yang revisit the Ming Dynasty story Qingzhen ji (A Story of Faithful Love) through a contemporary lens, exploring themes of intimacy, power, and time. This movement between frame and reality becomes a quiet rupture, revealing the work not just as a story retold, but as a process in flux.
Vibeke Rohland: Erasure #4
Vibeke Rohland har på Statens Værksteder arbejdet på projektet, ”ERASURE” fra 2019 - 2025, idet denne produktion er afhængig af faciliteterne på 3 sal; farveblandingsrum, vådrum med damp og udvask samt ikke mindst det lange trykbord, hvor man kan arbejde i rapport.
