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.

Woven Paper Landscapes undersøger oversættelsen af fotografi til vævning. Hver pixel omsættes til en tråd, og flerlagsstrukturer og optiske farveblandinger opstår i spændingsfeltet mellem vævningens binære system og den digitale enkeltrådsstyring.
