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.

Maria Koshenkova’s glass sculptures are based on the meeting between materiality and emotions. Her artistic foundation is a fundamental fascination with the special ability of glass to move in the ambivalent, mysterious and unpredictable, between the hot and the cold, the living and the dead.
